   GSlowed down and played to how we feel
   DAnd if we slow it down even more
  GWe're gonna show our age and then some
[Verse 2]

   GOn the fridge next to our dry-cleaning receipts
   DIgnored until company asks

[Verse 1]

This is really just a fast song

Slowed down and played to how we feel

And if we slow it down even more

We're gonna show our age and then some

[Verse 2]

And then there are the pictures we keep

On the fridge next to our dry-cleaning receipts

Ignored until company asks

"Hey, where was this taken, and when?

[Chorus]

G Bm

You look so different"

Woke up late, just rode around

I took the instinct to Oakland downtown

Spent some time at your new place

I've got some pills and a six-pack of something cheap

[Verse 4]

Walked around the lake talking

About the kid from Texas, who moved up here

And this is the last thing I remember, before passing out

Later that night on the floor of the acme(?) bar

[Chorus]

It's fall now, in my borough, things changed

We'll keep our minds sharp, we'll keep our friends close,

They'll keep pounding these notes into a solid story hole
