[Verse 1]
C G
I remembered you older and taller
Am
But you’re younger and smaller
F C
So who’s gonna call her and say
G Am F
That you’re back again
C G
And all the lies, they were wiser
Am
And the wise were the liars
F
And the liars were on fire
C
And the fires were put out
G Am F
Just to be lit again
[Refrain]
Am F
You’re alone ’til you’re not alone
G C G/B
And that’s all you need to know
Am F
Every time you decide to stay
G C G/B
Then the world will make you go
G C G/B
And that’s all you need to know
[Verse 2]
C G
All the debts they got settled
Am
And the settlers got cattle
F
But the cattle was rattled
C
By the snakes that were guarding
G Am F
The garden gates
C G
And you retired just in time
Am
You were about to be fired
F
For being so tired
C G Am F
From hiring the ones who will take your place
[Refrain]
Am F
All the lies on your resume
G C G/B
Have become the truth by now
Am F
And the things that you never did
G C G/B
Have become your youth somehow
G C G/B
You know everything by now
[Bridge]
G* F Dm G*
Enjoy your youth *I prefer to play a G bar here (F bar moved up two frets)
G* F Dm G*
Sounds like a threat
G* F Dm G*
Enjoy your youth
G* F Dm G*
Sounds like a threat
G* F Dm G* G* F
But I will anyway
[Verse 3]
C G
I remembered you older and taller
Am
But you’re younger and smaller
F C
So who’s gonna call her and say
G Am F
That you’re here at last
C G
And all the days they were longer
Am
And the drinks they were stronger
F
The words we sang wrong
C
But the songs were remembered
G Am F
And time just passed
[Refrain]
Am F
You’re around ’til you’re not around
G C G/B
And that’s all you need to know
Am F
Every time you decide to stay
G C G/B
Then the world will make you go
G C G/B
And that’s all you need to know
[Bridge/Outro]
G* F Dm G*
Enjoy your youth *I prefer to play a G bar here (F bar moved up two frets)
G* F Dm G*
Sounds like a threat
G* F Dm G*
Enjoy your youth
G* F Dm G*
Sounds like a threat
G* F Dm G* G* F <-- Repeat these chords during the outro.
But I will anyway
