    Dm             F
I'm over the hill, under the bridge

G                     F                Dm    F   G   F
Still a few peaks and valleys, I ain't seen

    Dm                 F
You talk about love, I talk about love

  G              F              Dm     F   G   F
I don't know any better than to dream

C                                 Bb
   I know your father's house, it has many rooms

C                               Bb            A   A7
   I see the young men sweeping up with their brooms
[Chorus]
Dm            F
   But if you want me

G   F               Dm   F   G   F
       I'm over the hill

Dm             F
   Yeah if you want me

G   F               Dm   F   G   F
       I'm over the hill
[Verse 2]
    Dm                   F
I'm longing a tooth, and what can I say

     G                   F                  Dm    F   G   F
I've taken huge bites of life and I ate the bones

    Dm                 F
The gristle and mellow feeds my soul

G                            F                      Dm      F   G   F
Gives me the strength to forgive all the sticks and stones

C                             Bb
   And what you see in me you think I see too

C                            Bb          A   A7
   I didn't get here telling stories for you
[Chorus]
Dm            F
   But if you want me

G   F               Dm   F   G   F
       I'm over the hill

Dm             F
   Yeah if you want me baby

G   F               Dm   F   G   F
       I'm over the hill
[Bridge]
C
   I hear a distant cry

E7
   A tear forms in your eye

F
   For the way things might have been

D
   We can't live that again

C
   No time to fill the cup

E7
   No time to screw it up

F
   We'll have to place our bets

G                A      A7
   On a dog with no regrets
[Instrumental] Dm F G F (x4) [Verse 3]
     Dm               F
Well time won't tell, heaven or hell

G                    F                Dm      F   G   F
Time just pisses his secrets down the street

    Dm                 F
You talk about love, I talk about love

G                   F                     Dm    F   G   F
Sometimes I'll even think we know what we mean

C                             Bb
   No band of angels bringing peace to the streets

C                              Bb          A   A7
   We wear the garments and we shuffle our feet
[Chorus]
Dm            F
   But if you want me

G   F               Dm         F   G   F
       I'm over the hill, yeah

Dm             F
   But if you want me baby

G   F               Dm   F   G   F
       I'm over the hill
[Outro]
                      Dm         F   G   F
     Oh, I'm over the hill baby

                  Dm             F   G   F
     I'm over the hill baby

     I'm over the hill baby

Dm
