Intro: (play root note, then strum) F Am F Am F Am F Am
F             Am               F
I was born in nineteen eighty-nine

             F    G
All we could do

Am
No shakes or coughs or burst relief

   Am
Or lists of all our things

     F              F       G
Just minutes making minds

F             Am               F
I was born in nineteen eighty-nine

             F    G
All we could do

Am
But the makers never made

    Am
The comers never came

    G
But I still felt that awful news

       Am
It was patience that we had

        Am
And the miles we had left

     G
That held us there until we could let go

F             Am               F
I was born in nineteen eighty-nine

             F           G
And it'll be over soon

Am
No moon children or people's sun

   Am
Or ringing in my ears

     G
When I still felt that awful news

       Am
It was patience that we had

        Am
And the miles we had left

     G
That held us there until we could let go

       Am
It was patience that we had

        Am
And the miles we had left

     G
That held us there until we could let go

F             Am               F
I was born in nineteen eighty-nine

             F    G
All we could do

Am     Am
Not in birth or body

F                 F     G
But only in our minds

Am     Am
Not in birth or body

G
I still felt that awful news

       Am
It was patience that we had

        Am
And the miles we had left

     G
That held us there until we could let go

       Am
It was patience that we had

        Am
And the miles we had left

     G
