Capo 1, it's basically the same chord sequence throughout the song, you can split it
into two parts to make it a bit clearer, the first part being: A Amaj7 F#m E, then the
second part: D A D E
Intro:
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
A Amaj7 F#m E D A D E (x2)
Verse 1:
ABack back way back
I used to Amaj7front like Angkor Wat, MeF#mchanicsburg, Anchorage and EDar es Salaam
While Dhome from New York was Achampagne and disco
DTapes from L.A. slEash San Francisco
But Aactually Oakland and Amaj7not Alameda
Your F#mgirl was in Berkeley with her Ecommunist reader
DMine was entombed within bAoombox and Walkman
DI was a hoarder but gEirl, that was back then
Bridge:
A Amaj7 F#m E
Chorus:
The Agloves are off, the Amaj7wisdom teeth are F#mout
What you oEn about?
I Dfeel it in my Abones, I Dfeel it in my bEones
I'm Astronger now, I'm Amaj7ready for the F#mhouse
Such a mEodest mouse
I Dcan't do it aAlone, I Dcan't do it aElone
AEvery time I see Amaj7you in the world, you F#malways step to my Egirl
D A D E
Verse 2:
AAncestors told me that Amaj7their girl was better
She's F#mricher than Croesus, she's Etougher than leather
DI just ignored all the Atales of a past life
DStale conversation deEserves but a bread knife
And Apunks who would laugh when they Amaj7saw us together
Well F#mthey didn't know how to Edress for the weather
DI can still see them there Ahuddled on Astor
DSnow falling slow to the Esound of the Master
Chorus:
The Agloves are off, the Amaj7wisdom teeth are F#mout
What you oEn about?
I Dfeel it in my Abones, I Dfeel it in my bEones
I'm Astronger now, I'm Amaj7ready for the F#mhouse
Such a mEodest mouse
I Dcan't do it aAlone, I Dcan't do it aElone
A Amaj7 F#m E D A D E
Verse 3:
AWisdom's a gift but you'd Amaj7trade it for youth
F#mAge is an honour - it's Estill not the truth
DWe saw the stars when they Ahid from the world
DYou cursed the sun when it Estepped to your girl
AMaybe she's gone and I Amaj7can't resurrect her
The F#mtruth is she doesn't need Eme to protect her
We Ddon't know the true death - the Atrue way of all flesh
DEveryone's dying but Egirl - you're not old yet
Chorus:
The Agloves are off, the Amaj7wisdom teeth are F#mout
What you oEn about?
I Dfeel it in my Abones, I Dfeel it in my bEones
I'm Astronger now, I'm Amaj7ready for the F#mhouse
Such a mEodest mouse
I Dcan't do it aAlone, I Dcan't do it aElone
The Agloves are off, the Amaj7wisdom teeth are F#mout
What you oEn about?
I Dfeel it in my Abones, I Dfeel it in my bEones
I'm Astronger now, I'm Amaj7ready for the F#mhouse
Such a mEodest mouse
I Dcan't do it aAlone, I Dcan't do it aElone
AEvery time I see Amaj7you in the world, you F#malways step to my Egirl
