GBack back way back I uDsed to front like Angkor Wat
EmMechanicsburg Anchorage Bmand Dar es Salaam
CWhile home in New York wGas champagne and disco
CTapes from L.A. Dslash San Francisco
GBut actually Oakland Dand not Alameda
EmYour girl was in Berkeley Bmwith her Communist reader
CMine was entombed withiGn boombox and walkman
CI was a hoarder but Dgirl that was back then
GThe gloves are off, Dthe wisdom teeth are Emout
What you Bmon about?
CI feel it in my Gbones, CI feel it in my Dbones
GI'm stronger now, DI'm ready for the Emhouse
Such a Bmmodest mouse,
CI can't do it Galone, CI can't do it Dalone
GEvery time I see Dyou in the world, Emyou always step to my BmgirlC  G  C  D  
GAncestors told me that Dtheir girl was better
EmShe's richer than Croesus, she's Bmtougher than leather
CI just ignored all the Gtales of a past life
CStale conversation Ddeserves but a bread knife
GAnd punks who would laugh when Dthey saw us together
EmWell, they didn't know how to Bmdress for the weather
CI can still see them there Ghuddled on Astor
CSnow falling slow to the Dsound of the master
GThe gloves are off, Dthe wisdom teeth are Emout
What you Bmon about?
CI feel it in my Gbones, CI feel it in my Dbones
GI'm stronger now, DI'm ready for the Emhouse
Such a Bmmodest mouse,
CI can't do it Galone, CI can't do it Dalone
GWisdom's a gift, but you'd Dtrade it for youth
EmAge is an honor, it's Bmstill not the truth
CWe saw the stars when Gthey hid from the world
CYou cursed the sun when it Dstepped to your girl
GMaybe she's gone and I Dcan't resurrect her
EmThe truth is she doesn't need Bmme to protect her
CWe know the true death, Gthe true way of all flesh
CEveryone's dying, but Dgirl you're not old yet
GThe gloves are off, Dthe wisdom teeth are Emout
What you Bmon about?
CI feel it in my Gbones, CI feel it in my Dbones
