[Intro]
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F Eb Bb Eb F x2
[Verse 1]
Bb Back back way back Bbmaj7 Gm F I used to front like Angkor Wat, Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam Eb Bb While home from New York was champagne and disco Eb F Tapes from l.a. slash San Francisco Bb Bbmaj7 But actually Oakland and not Alameda Gm F Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader Eb Bb Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman Eb F I was a hoarder but girl, that was back then
[Interlude]
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F
[Chorus]
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out F What you on about? Eb Bb Eb F I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones Bb Bbmaj7 Gm I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house F Such a modest mouse Eb Bb Eb F I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
[Interlude]
Eb Bb Eb F
[Verse 2]
Bb Bbmaj7 Ancestors told me that their girl was better Gm F She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather Eb Bb I just ignored all the tales of a past life Eb F Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife Bb Bbmaj7 And punks who would laugh when they saw us together Gm F Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather Eb Bb I can still see them there huddled on Astor Eb F Snow falling slow to the sound of the Master
[Chorus]
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out F What you on about? Eb Bb Eb F I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones Bb Bbmaj7 Gm I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house F Such a modest mouse Eb Bb Eb F I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
[Interlude]
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F Eb Bb Eb F
[Verse 3]
Bb Bbmaj7 Wisdom's a gift but you'd trade it for youth Gm F Age is an honour - it's still not the truth Eb Bb We saw the stars when they hid from the world Eb F You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl Bb Bbmaj7 Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her Gm F The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her Eb Bb We don't know the true death - the true way of all flesh Eb F Everyone's dying but girl - you're not old yet
[Chorus]
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out F What you on about? Eb Bb Eb F I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones Bb Bbmaj7 Gm I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house F Such a modest mouse Eb Bb Eb F I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Bb Bbmaj7 Gm The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out F What you on about? Eb Bb Eb F I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones Bb Bbmaj7 Gm I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house F Such a modest mouse Eb Bb Eb F I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
[Outro]
