[Intro] Play Riff 1 x4 [Verse]
D                             D G  D*
  First thing we'd climb a tree

D                       D G  D*
  And maybe then we'd talk

D               D G  D*
  Or sit silently

D                      D G  D*
  And listen to our thoughts

C
  With illusions of someday

D
  Casting a golden light

C
  No dress rehearsal

D*
  This is our life
[Bridge] Play Riff 1 x2 [Pre-Chorus]
D                                     C
  And that's where the hornet stung me

                      D
And I had a feverish dream

                    C
With revenge and doubt

                      D*
Tonight we smoke them out
[Chorus]
A
  You are ahead by a century

G
  You are ahead by a century

A                           G
  You are ahead by a century
[Bridge] Play Riff 1 x4 [Verse]
D                          D G  D*
  Stare in the morning shroud

D                      D G  D*
  And then the day began

D                   D G  D*
  I tilted your cloud

D                  D G  D*
  You tilted my hand

C
  Rain falls in real time

D
  And rain fell through the night

C
  No dress rehearsal

D*
  This is our life
[Bridge] Play Riff 1 x2 [Pre-Chorus]
D                                C
  That's when the hornet stung me

                    D
And I had a serious dream

                 C
With revenge and doubt

                      D*
Tonight we smoke them out
[Chorus]
A
  You are ahead by a century

G
  You are ahead by a century

A                             G
  You are ahead by a century
[Outro]
A
  You are ahead by a century

G
  You are ahead by a century

A
  You are ahead by a century

G
  And disappointing you is
Riff 1 x6 Getting me down Note: in the verses, slide up from the G to the D*
