Intro: C G Am G F C F G x2
Verse: 1
CBack back way back I used to Gfront like Angkor Wat
AmMechanicsburg Anchorage and GDar es Salaam
While Fhome in New York was Cchampagne and disco
FTapes from L.A. Gslash San Francisco
But Cactually Oakland and Gnot Alameda
Your Amgirl was in Berkeley with her GCommunist reader
FMine was entombed within Cboombox and walkman
FI was a hoarder but Ggirl that was back then
Bridge:
*humsC* BGadoAmom G
Chorus:
The Cgloves are off, the Gwisdom teeth are Amout
What you Gon about?
I Ffeel it in my Cbones, I Ffeel it in my Gbones
I'm Cstronger now, I'm Gready for the Amhouse
Such a Gmodest mouse,
I Fcan't do it Calone, I Fcan't do it Galone
CEvery time I see Gyou in the world, you Amalways step to my Ggirl
F C F G
Verse 2:
CAncestors told me that Gtheir girl was better
She's Amricher than Croesus, she's Gtougher than leather
FI just ignored all the Ctales of a past life
FStale conversation deseGrves but a bread knife
And Cpunks who would laugh when they Gsaw us together
Well, Amthey didn't know how to Gdress for the weather
FI can still see them there Chuddled on Astor
FSnow falling slow to the Gsound of the master
Chorus:
The Cgloves are off, the Gwisdom teeth are Amout
What you Gon about?
I Ffeel it in my Cbones, I Ffeel it in my Gbones
I'm Cstronger now, I'm Gready for the Amhouse
Such a Gmodest mouse,
I Fcan't do it Calone, I Fcan't do it Galone
CEvery time I see Gyou in the world, you Amalways step to my Ggirl

Verse: 3
CWisdom's a gift, but you'd Gtrade it for youth
AmAge is an honor, it's Gstill not the truth
FWe saw the stars when they Chid from the world
FYou cursed the sun when it Gstepped to your girl
CMaybe she's gone and I Gcan't resurrect her
The Amtruth is she doesn't need Gme to protect her
FWe know the true death, the Ctrue way of all flesh
FEveryone's dying, but Ggirl you're not old yet
Chorus:
The Cgloves are off, the Gwisdom teeth are Amout
What you Gon about?
I Ffeel it in my Cbones, I Ffeel it in my Gbones
I'm Cstronger now, I'm Gready for the Amhouse
Such a Gmodest mouse,
I Fcan't do it Calone, I Fcan't do it Galone x2
CEvery time I see Gyou in the world, you Amalways step to my Ggirl
