           G                Bm
There's a bear inside your stomach

               C                 G  G/F#
The cub's been kicking from within.

      Em                  Am 
He's loud, though without vocal chords

      C                D
We'll put an end to him

We'll make all the right appointments
C G - (Change To Next Line fast) No one ever has to know.
G/F#         Em                Am
And then tomorrow I'll turn 21

       C                 D
We'll script another show

             G                 Bm
We'll play charades up in the Chelsea

         C                     G         G/F#
Drink champagne although you shouldn't be.

         Em             Am                  C   D    
We'll be blind and dumb until we fall asleep

             G                
None of our friends will come

      Bm           
They dodge our calls.
C G - (Change To Next Line fast) And they have for quite a while now
G/F#            Em
It's not a shock

                    Am     C                 D
You don't seem to mind and I just can't see how.
[Chorus]
          C     Bm
We're too old

          Am          D
We're not old, old at all

     C      Bm        
Just too old

          Am          D
We're not old, old, old at all
[Verse 2]
          G                Bm
There's a bear inside your stomach
C G - (Change To Next Line fast) The cub's been kicking you for weeks
G/F#           Em             Am
And if this isn't all a dream

                C                  D
Well then we'll cut him from beneath

               G                 Bm
Well we're not scared of making caves
C G - (Change To Next Line fast) Or finding food for him to eat
G/F#        Em             Am
We're terrified of one another

         C                 D
And terrified of what that means

               G            Bm      
But we'll make only quick decisions

                C              G        G/F#
And you'll just keep my in the waiting room

     Em                Am
And all the while I'll know we're fucked

        C                 D
And not getting unfucked soon

             G                Bm
When we get home we're bigger strangers 
C G - (Change To Next Line fast) Than we've ever been before
G/F#           Em           Am          C                  D
You sit in front of snowy television, suitcase on the floor
[Chorus 2]
          C      Bm
We're too old

          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.

         C      Bm
Just too old

          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.

         C      Bm
Just too old

          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.

         C      Bm
Just too old

          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.

         C      Bm
Just too old

          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.

         C      Bm
Just too old

          Am    D
We're not old, old, old at all.
