[Verse 1]
      F#        C#
Would I show my age
G#m               F#      C#
If I dare air the memory
G#m
Of your oeuvre
        F#         C#
If it's all to the same
G#m                   F#        C#
Somehow it takes on a different sheen
G#m
Seen from afar
        F#   C#
And the requiem
G#m
We wreck the real you
   F#       C#
To dream up some
  G#m
Angelic relic of

[Pre-Chorus]
F#     C#    G#m       B
Fallin down, like none other
F#     C#        G#m      B
Fallin down, all eager to please
F#     C#    G#m       B
Fallin down, like none other
F#     C#     G#m           B
New nostalgia just leave me be

[Chorus]
F#   B   A#m         G#m
In a van down by the river, I am
F#   B   A#m        G#m
In a van living the life
F#   B   A#m         G#m
In a van down by the river, I am
F#   B   A#m        G#m
In a van living the life

[Verse 2]
          F#      C#
Though we all get caught
G#m                      F#        C#
Somehow just playing the same damn parts
G#m
Over and over
        F#        C#
But the brilliant bits
G#m                F#        C#   G#m
At our best just reflections lit by brighter light
F#               C#          G#m
And isn’t just a little bit sad
    F#           C#           G#m
But add back the laugh track, mask all that

[Pre-Chorus]
F#     C#    G#m       B
Fallin down, like none other
F#     C#        G#m      B
Fallin down, all eager to please
F#     C#    G#m       B
Fallin down, like no other
F#     C#     G#m           B
New nostalgia just leave me be

[Chorus]
F#   B   A#m         G#m
In a van down by the river, I am
F#   B   A#m        G#m
In a van living the life
F#   B   A#m         G#m
In a van down by the river, I am
F#   B   A#m        G#m
In a van living the life
