Dm                     Bbmaj7
Back back back in the back of your mind

C                          Gsus4
Are you learning an angry language

Dm                          Bbmaj7
Tell me boy boy boy are you tending to your joy

C                          Gsus4
Or are you just letting it vanquish

Dm                    Bbmaj7
Back back back in the dark of your mind

C                             Gsus4
Where the eyes of your demons are gleaming

Dm                          Bbmaj7
Are you mad mad mad about the life you never had

C                 Gsus4
Even when you are dreaming

[Verse 2]
Dm                            Bbmaj7
Who are these old old old people in these nursing homes

C                 Gsus4
Just scowling away at nothing

Dm                        Bbmaj7
Like big rag dolls just cursing at the walls

C                 Gsus4
And pulling out all of their stuffing

Dm                     Bbmaj7
Every day is a door leading back to the core

C                 Gsus4
Yes, old age will distill you

Dm                                Bbmaj7
And if you're this this this full of bitterness now

C                 Gsus4
Some day it will just fill you
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Dm                            Bbmaj7
When you sit right down in the middle of yourself

C                 Gsus4
You're gonna want to have a comfortable chair

Dm                            Bbmaj7
So renovate your soul before you get too old

C                 Gsus4
'cause you're gonna be housebound there

Dm                            Bbmaj7
When you're old you fold up like an envelope

C                 Gsus4
And you mail yourself right inside

Dm                            Bbmaj7
And there's nowhere to go except out real slow

C                 Gsus4
Are you ready, boy, for that ride?
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
F                 G
Your arrogance is gaining on you

Db        Bb
And so is eternity

F                 G
You better practice happiness

Db        Bb
You better practice humility

F                 G
You took the air, you took the time

Db        Bb
You were fed and you were free

F                 G
Now you'd better put some beauty back

Db        Bb
While you got the energy

F                 G
You'd better put some beauty back

Db        Bb
While you got the energy
