[Intro]
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
A Amaj7 F#m E D A D E (x2)
[Verse]
A Back, back, way back Amaj7 F#m E I used to front like Angkor Wat, Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam D A While home in New York was champagne and disco D E Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco A Amaj7 But actually Oakland and not Alameda F#m E Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader D A Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman D E I was a hoarder but girl, that was back then
[Bridge]
A Amaj7 F#m E
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 F#m The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out E What you on about? D A D E I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones A Amaj7 F#m I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house E Such a modest mouse D A D E I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone A Amaj7 F#m E Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
D A D E
[Verse]
A Amaj7 Ancestors told me that their girl was better F#m E She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather D A I just ignored all the tales of a past life D E Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife A Amaj7 And punks who would laugh when they saw us together F#m E Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather D A I can still see them there huddled on Astor D E Snow falling slow to the sound of the Master
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 F#m The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out E What you on about? D A D E I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones A Amaj7 F#m I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house E Such a modest mouse D A D E I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
A Amaj7 F#m E D A D E
[Verse]
A Amaj7 Wisdom's a gift but you'd trade it for youth F#m E Age is an honour - it's still not the truth D A We saw the stars when they hid from the world D E You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl A Amaj7 Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her F#m E The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her D A We don't know the true death - the true way of all flesh D E Everyone's dying but girl - you're not old yet
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 F#m The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out E What you on about? D A D E I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones A Amaj7 F#m I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house E Such a modest mouse D A D E I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone A Amaj7 F#m The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out E What you on about? D A D E I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones A Amaj7 F#m I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house E Such a modest mouse D A D E I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone A Amaj7 F#m E Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
