There are Emtwenty years to go
And twDenty ways to know
Who'll wCear, who'll wear the Bhat
There are tEmwenty years to go
The bDest of all I hope
CEnjoy the ride
The Bmedicine show
[Chorus]
TEmhems the breaks
For we desDigner fakes
We need to conceCntrate on more than meets the eBye
[Verse 2]
There are tEmwenty years to go
The faDithful and the low
The beCst of starts, the broken heart, tBhe stone
There are twEmenty years to go
The punDch drunk and the blow
The woCrst of starts, the mercy partB, the phone
[Chorus]
And Emthems the breaks
For we deDsigner fakes
We nCeed to concentrate on more than meets thBe eye
TheEmms the breaks
For we desDigner fakes
But it's Cyou i take, cause you're the truth, noBt I
[Verse 3]
There are Emtwenty years to go
A goDlden age I know
But aCll will pass will end too fast yBou know
There are Emtwenty years to go
And mDany friends I hope
TChough some may hold the rose
Some hold the Brope
[Bridge]
ThEmat's the end - and that's the start of it
ThDat's the whole - and that's the part of it
ThCat's the high - and that's the heart of it
ThBat's the long - and that's the short of it
TEmhat's the best - and that's the test in it
TDhat's the doubt - the doubt, the trust in it
TChat's the sight - and that's the sound of it
TBhat's the gift - and that's the trick in it
Em

[Intro]

Em D C B

[Verse 1]

There are twenty years to go

And twenty ways to know

C B

Who'll wear, who'll wear the hat

There are twenty years to go

The best of all I hope

Enjoy the ride

The medicine show

[Chorus]

Thems the breaks

For we designer fakes

C B

We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

[Verse 2]

There are twenty years to go

The faithful and the low

C B

The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone

There are twenty years to go

The punch drunk and the blow

C B

The worst of starts, the mercy part, the phone

[Chorus]

And thems the breaks

For we designer fakes

C B

We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

Thems the breaks

For we designer fakes

C B

But it's you i take, cause you're the truth, not I

[Verse 3]

There are twenty years to go

A golden age I know

C B

But all will pass will end too fast you know

There are twenty years to go

And many friends I hope

Though some may hold the rose

Some hold the rope

[Bridge]

That's the end - and that's the start of it

That's the whole - and that's the part of it

That's the high - and that's the heart of it

That's the long - and that's the short of it

That's the best - and that's the test in it

That's the doubt - the doubt, the trust in it

That's the sight - and that's the sound of it

That's the gift - and that's the trick in it

[Outro]

D C B Em

You're the truth, not I, you're the truth, not I

D C B Em

You're the truth, not I, you're the truth, not I

D C B Em

You're the truth, not I, you're the truth, not I

D C B Em

You're the truth, not I, You're the truth, not I.
