INTRO:
D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D
D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D
VERSE:
D Em7 G D Well, I hope you have fun splashin' in the slack tide D Em7 G A Unchaperoned over on the flip side G D Em D I write what I know about, made up or true D G G A D Dsus4 D These songs aren't for me, they're for you
VERSE:
D Em7 G D Memories like meteors fly through my head D Em7 G A The sand was pearl white, her bikini bright red G D Em D Retracing song lines gives me goose pimples, still D G G A D Dsus4 Like the trail boards upon Boo Boo Hill
CHORUS:
D D D G D D G I know these stories were all lived before me D D G Asus4 A Asus4 Still, I've got a couple that I'll keep to myself A D D G D D G I'm so damn lucky to have an all-star cast D D G D Dsus4 D Some lovely, some crazy, whoever thought this would last? D D D G D Em G D You know if I hadn't lived it, I'd read it myself D Em7 Asus4 A Tellin' tall tales is still good for my health G D Em D Keep movin', and listenin', and amusin' myself D G G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4 I'm not ready to put the book on the shelf
VERSE:
D Em7 G D We all live some days vicariously D Em7 G A Blinded by all the light we cannot see G D Em D Handed down stories, cave walls to pens D G G A D A D Worth tellin' again and again
VERSE:
D Em7 G D I call these modalities great power tubes D G A Placed in the hands of dreamers and fools G D Em D We're descended from court jesters, quite sure of that D G G A D Could you kindly pass around the hat?
CHORUS:
D D D G D D G And I know these stories were sailed way before me D D G Asus4 A Asus4 Toss a note in a bottle and hope that it helps A D D G D D G I'm so damn lucky to have an all-star crew D D G G A D Dsus4 D Some stoic, some crazy, some just passin' through D D G D Em G D I guess music and lyrics are what I do best D Em7 Asus4 A I'm all done 'splaining or passin' some test G D Em D So pour me another, it's good for my health D G G A D I'm not ready to put the book on the shelf
OUTRO:
G D G D I'll keep scribblin' on pages, not jumpin' off stages D G G A D Not ready to put the book on the shelf
