Back back way back I used to front like Angkor Wat

Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar esSalaam

Tapes from LA slash San Francisco
Bb                   Dm             
But actually Oakland and not Alameda

Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader

Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman
Cm                  Dm                     
I was a hoarder but girl that was back then

I feel it in my bones I feel it in my bones

I'm stronger now I'm ready for the house
       F           
Such a modest mouse

[Verse]
Bb                                          
Ancestors told me that their girl was better
      Gm                        F                   
She's richer than Croesus she's tougher than leather
Eb                     Dm                  
I just ignored all the tales of a past life
Eb                 F                         
Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
    Bb                              Bb7            
And punks who would laugh when they saw us together
                             Bb7                  
Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather
                           Gm              
I can still see them there huddled on Astor
                         F7                 
Snow falling slow to the sound of the master


[Chorus]
                       F7                  
The gloves are off the wisdom teeth are out
     F7          
What you on about
                F7                         
I feel it in my bones I feel it in my bones
    Bb               F7                 
I'm stronger now I'm ready for the house
       F7          
Such a modest mouse
              Bb      Eb          Bb   
I can't do it alone I can't do it alone

[Verse]
Bb                        F                 
Wisdom's a gift but you'd trade it for youth
Bb                   Cm                 
Age is an honor it's still not the truth
                           Bb                
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
Cm                         Dm7                 
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl


[Chorus]
Dm                     F                  
Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
                              F7               
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
Cm                                              
We know the true death the true way of all flesh
                     Cm                     
Everyone's dying but girl you're not old yet

The gloves are off the wisdom teeth are out

What you on about
                Bb                    F7   
I feel it in my bones I feel it in my bones
    Bb           F7                F    
I'm stronger now I'm ready for the house
       F           
Such a modest mouse
                      Eb          F7   
I can't do it alone I can't do it alone


[Chorus]
Bb                 F7     Bb    Gm     
Gloves are off the wisdom teeth are out
         F  F7   
What you on about
  F             Dm    F7 F                  
I feel it in my bones I  feel it in my bones
    Bb               F                  
I'm stronger now I'm ready for the house
       F7          
Such a modest mouse
