A#8
5Back back way back
          A#maj79                    Gm10                        F11
6I used to front like Angkor Wat, Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam
      D#12                      A#13
7While home from New York was champagne and disco
D#14                 F15
8Tapes from l.a. slash San Francisco
    A#16                    A#maj717
9But actually Oakland and not Alameda
     Gm18                           F19
10Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader
D#20                         A#21
11Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman
D#22                    F23
12I was a hoarder but girl, that was back then
13
Interlude: A#24  A#maj725  Gm26  F27

15Chorus:
    A#28                   A#maj729            Gm30
16The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
          F31
17What you on about?
  D#32             A#33        D#34              F35
18I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
    A#36                 A#maj737         Gm38
19I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
        F39
20Such a modest mouse
  D#40            A#41       D#42            F43
21I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
A#44                A#maj745                 Gm46               F47
22Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl

25Verse:
A#52                      A#maj753
26Ancestors told me that their girl was better
      Gm54                        F55
27She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather
D#56                      A#57
28I just ignored all the tales of a past life
D#58                    F59
29Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
    A#60                               A#maj761
30And punks who would laugh when they saw us together
     Gm62                     F63
31Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather
D#64                          A#65
32I can still see them there huddled on Astor
D#66                        F67
33Snow falling slow to the sound of the Master
34
35Chorus:
    A#68                   A#maj769            Gm70
36The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
          F71
37What you on about?
  D#72             A#73        D#74              F75
38I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
    A#76                 A#maj777         Gm78
39I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
        F79
40Such a modest mouse
  D#80            A#81       D#82            F83
41I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone

44Verse:
A#92                         A#maj793
45Wisdom's a gift but you'd trade it for youth
Gm94                     F95
46Age is an honour - it's still not the truth
D#96                          A#97
47We saw the stars when they hid from the world
D#98                          F99
48You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
A#100                      A#maj7101
49Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
    Gm102                       F103
50The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
   D#104                               A#105
51We don't know the true death - the true way of all flesh
D#106                    F107
52Everyone's dying but girl - you're not old yet
53
54Chorus:
    A#108                   A#maj7109            Gm110
55The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
          F111
56What you on about?
  D#112             A#113        D#114              F115
57I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
    A#116                 A#maj7117         Gm118
58I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
        F119
59Such a modest mouse
  D#120            A#121       D#122            F123
60I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
61
62
    A#124                   A#maj7125            Gm126
63The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
          F127
64What you on about?
  D#128             A#129        D#130              F131
65I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
    A#132                 A#maj7133         Gm134
66I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
        F135
67Such a modest mouse
  D#136            A#137       D#138            F139
68I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
