Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl Intro - Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F Eb Bb Eb F x2 Verse 1: Bb Bbmaj7 Back back way back I used to front like Angkor Wat Gm F Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar es Salaam Eb Bb Eb F While home from New York was champagne and disco tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco Bb Bbmaj7 But actually Oakland and not Alameda Gm F Your girl was in Berkeley with her Communist reader Eb Bb Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman Eb F I was a hoarder but girl that was back then Bridge (he hums badoom with it): Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F The Chorus is the same as the verse: Bb Bbmaj7 Gm The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out F What you on about? Eb Bb Eb F I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones Bb Bbmaj7 Gm I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house F Such a modest mouse, Eb Bb Eb F I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl Eb Bb Eb F Verse 2: Ancestors told me that their girl was better She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather I just ignored all the details of a past life Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife And punks who would laugh when they saw us together Well, they didn't know how to dress for the weather I can still see them there huddled on Astor Snow falling slow to the sound of the master Chorus Bridge (just play the same chord pattern) Verse 3: Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth Age is an honor - it's still not the truth We saw the stars when they hid from the world You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her We don't know the true death, the way of all flesh Everyone's dying, but girl - you're not old yet Chorus
