[Intro]
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
AAmaj7F#mEDADE
[Verse]
A
Back back way back
Amaj7F#mE
I used to front like Angkor Wat, Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam
DA
While home from New York was champagne and disco
DE
Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco
AAmaj7
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
F#mE
Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader
DA
Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman
DE
I was a hoarder but girl, that was back then
[Bridge]
AAmaj7F#mE
[Chorus]
AAmaj7F#m
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
E
What you on about?
DADE
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
AAmaj7F#m
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
E
Such a modest mouse
DADE
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
AAmaj7F#mE
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
DADE
[Verse]
AAmaj7
Ancestors told me that their girl was better
F#mE
She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather
DA
I just ignored all the tales of a past life
DE
Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
AAmaj7
And punks who would laugh when they saw us together
F#mE
Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather
DA
I can still see them there huddled on Astor
DE
Snow falling slow to the sound of the Master
[Chorus]
AAmaj7F#m
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
E
What you on about?
DADE
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
AAmaj7F#m
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
E
Such a modest mouse
DADE
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
AAmaj7F#mEDADE
[Verse]
AAmaj7
Wisdom's a gift but you'd trade it for youth
F#mE
Age is an honour - it's still not the truth
DA
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
DE
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
AAmaj7
Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
F#mE
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
DA
We don't know the true death - the true way of all flesh
DE
Everyone's dying but girl - you're not old yet
[Chorus]
AAmaj7F#m
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
E
What you on about?
DADE
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
AAmaj7F#m
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
E
Such a modest mouse
DADE
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
AAmaj7F#m
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
E
What you on about?
DADE
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
AAmaj7F#m
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
E
Such a modest mouse
DADE
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
AAmaj7F#mE
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
