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
