Four Chords

A
I was once a boy in love with 
strangers

D
As I watched them smoke their 
cigarettes I'd wave

A
I was much too young to think of 
danger

D
I was curious and innocent and brave

A
Now the wrinkles in my face have 
gotten deeper

D
I'm an old man that's just 25 years 
young

A
I try to keep myself away from 
mirrors

D
They remind me of the stupid things 
I've done

PDC HORUS

F#                                
Because after all man's intellect 
     E
and power

D                             
All you get is 650,000 hours if 
          F#
you're lucky then you're dead

          E                        
Says the voice inside my head that 
           D
keeps me moving on


That keeps me singing these songs

CHORUS
A
So sing along, oh, oh, here we go, 
been down this road

About a thousand times before but we
         D
 ain't bored

Oh, oh, here we go, singing songs we
 wrote

About a thousand times before but we
        F#
 ain't bored

               E                   
The same four chords, the same four
   D
 chords

VERSE

Now the beard upon my face has 
gotten thicker
To protect me from the storms that 
come my way
Maybe when life's done I'll be the 
singer
In the band that plays outside of 
Heaven's gate

PDC HORUS

'Cause after all man's intellect and
 power
All you get is 650,000 hours if 
you're lucky then you're dead
Says the voice inside my head that 
keeps me moving on
That keeps me singing these songs

CHORUS

So sing along, oh, oh, here we go, 
been down this road
About a thousand times before but we
 ain't bored
Oh, oh, here we go, singing songs we
 wrote
About a thousand times before but we
 ain't bored
The same four chords, the same four 
chords
The same four chords, the same four 
chords

BRIDGE

D         E            F#
Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad

    A                    D
My life was filled with songs

              E
And even if I die tomorrow

F#                      A
These four chords will keep me 
living on

Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad
My life was filled with songs
And maybe if I die tomorrow
These four chords will keep me 
living on

Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad
My life was filled with songs
And even if I die tomorrow
These four chords will keep me 
living on

CHORUS
          A
So sing along, oh, oh, the songs 
that we wrote


Are playing back on the radio

D
Oh, oh, if I die tomorrow

 F#                     E
These four chords will keep me 
living on

A
Oh, oh, the songs that we wrote


Are playing back on the radio

D
Oh, oh, if I die tomorrow

F#                      E
These four chords will keep me 
living on

F#                      E
These four chords will keep me 
living on

F#                      E   
These four chords will keep me 
              D     A
living on
