Alright, so these guys like to vary somewhat with capos and downtuning, so I encourage to transpose some of the weirder keys. Everything here is the actual note being played with no capo. Pretty simple in terms of chords Let me know if I screwed up, I might have screwed some manual transposing or just screwed up in general. Have fun! Longer Than You've Been Alive C
CWe’ve been doing this longer than you’ve been alive CPropelled by some mysterious drive And they Fstill let me do it as weird as that seems And I Cdo most nights and then again in my dreams GInfinite hallways and giant hotels FDressing room looks about as good as it smells C
CBottles of whiskey bottles of beer There's a bottle of medicine somewhere round here FWe've been in nightclubs and we've in bars CHonky tonks and theaters from Memphis to Mars GMost of our shows were a triumph of rock Although Fsome nights I might have been checking the clock C
CI'm only human though I'm super at times I've jumped off of risers I should not have climbed FRock jumps won't kill you till one of them does Well they'll Csay he died doing what he loves GWe got our share of loving in the past Although Fwe were all looking for someone who'd last C
CWell it must be hard to get partnered with me Some narcissism some OCD But Flove that comes easy's a fake or a fluke CLove is a marathon sometimes you puke GSpeaking of which there has been alcohol FOceans and oceans but that isn't all GMountains of weed a hand full of pills FNone of the hard stuff that shit kills We've been Gdoing it longer than you've been alive F20 good years and about 25 C
FRock and roll's been very very good to Cme The Gopen road's the Fonly place I wanna beC FRock and roll's been very very good to Cme The Gopen road's the Fonly place I wanna beC C
CNow I'm not crazy bout songs that get self referential And most of this stuff should be kept confidential Oh but Fwho even gives half a fuck any more Well you Cshould know the truth it's both a blast and a bore GRock stars were once such mythical creatures FUp there with presidents, playmates, and preachers C
COh well now you just do it cause it's what you do They throw underwear instead of money at you And FI've made a living out of shaking my ass And if you Coffered an office I'd have to pass But our Gjobs are all jobs and sometimes they suck I Flove what I do and I've had pretty good luck C
CAll the fans are all clapping screaming and squealing And I won't lie to you that's a pretty sweet feeling And FI might butt heads with the guys in my band But I Cnever once went to work for the man The Gmen and the women like you him and her We're Fsharing this night that will soon be a blur We've been Gdoing this longer than you've been alive FGet on the buss FAnd tell the driver to driiiiiiiiiCve
FRock and roll's been very very good to Cme The Gopen road's the Fonly place I wanna beC FRock and roll's been very very good to Cme The Gopen road's the Fonly place I wanna beC FRock and roll's been very very good to Cme The Gopen road's the Fonly place I wanna beC I said the Gopen road's the Fonly place I wanna be C
