Regina Spektor – Older And Taller (Guitar)

C                   G     
   I remembered you older and taller

           Am     
But you’re younger and smaller

   F                        C 
So who’s gonna call her and say

            G            Am           F 
That you’re back again

C                           G
   And all the lies, they were wiser

                      Am 
And the wise were the liars

                      F
And the liars were on fire

                       C
And the fires were put out

           G            Am        F 
Just to be lit again

Am                       F
    You’re alone ’til you’re not alone

           G               C   G/B 
And that’s all you need to know

Am                   F
    Every time you decide to stay

         G                   C    G/B
Then the world will make you go

           G               C   G/B
And that’s all you need to know

C                         G
   All the debts they got settled 

                     Am
And the settlers got cattle

                   F
But the cattle was rattled

                        C
By the snakes that were guarding 

    G          Am       F 
The garden gates

C                            G 
     And you retired just in time

                     Am
You were about to be fired 

             F
For being so tired

                C             G               Am       F
From hiring the ones who will take your place

Am                   F
   All the lies on your resume 

       G                 C  G/B
Have become the truth by now

Am                         F
   And the things that you never did 

       G                   C   G/B
Have become your youth somehow

         G             C   G/B
You know everything by now

G* F   Dm    G*
Enjoy your youth                 *I prefer to play a G bar here (F bar moved up two frets)

G*     F    Dm G*
Sounds like a threat             

G* F   Dm   G*
Enjoy your youth

G*      F    Dm G*
Sounds like a threat

G*   F Dm    G* G* F
But I will anyway

C                   G     
   I remembered you older and taller

           Am     
But you’re younger and smaller

   F                        C 
So who’s gonna call her and say

            G            Am      F
That you’re here at last

C                             G
   And all the days they were longer 

                         Am
And the drinks they were stronger

                  F
The words we sang wrong 

                   C        
But the songs were remembered 

    G                Am       F
And time just passed

Am                           F
   You’re around ’til you’re not around 

           G               C  G/B
And that’s all you need to know

Am                  F
   Every time you decide to stay 

         G                   C  G/B
Then the world will make you go

           G               C  G/B
And that’s all you need to know

G* F   Dm    G*
Enjoy your youth                 *I prefer to play a G bar here (F bar moved up two frets)

G*     F    Dm G*
Sounds like a threat             

G* F   Dm  G*
Enjoy your youth

G*      F   Dm G*
Sounds like a threat

G*   F Dm    G* G* F   <-- Repeat these chords during the outro.
But I will anyway
