Bb           Bbmaj7               
Every time I see you in the world,
 Gm                    F
 you always step to my girl

[Verse 1]
Bb                           
Back back way back I used to front 
Bbmaj7
like Angkor Wat
Gm                          F
Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar es 
Salaam
Eb                         
While home from New York was 
    Bb                Eb          
champagne and disco tapes from 
        F
L.A. slash San

Francisco

    Bb                   Bbmaj7
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
     Gm                            
Your girl was in Berkeley with her 
F
Communist reader
Eb                         Bb
Mine was entombed within boombox and
 walkman
Eb                  F
I was a hoarder but girl that was 
back then

[Bridge] (he hums badoom with it) Bb
  Bbmaj7  Gm  F

The [Chorus] is the same as the 
verse:
     Bb                  Bbmaj7   
The gloves are off, the wisdom 
        Gm
teeth are out
         F
What you on about?
  Eb            Bb       Eb      
I feel it in my bones, I feel it 
      F
in my bones
    Bb                Bbmaj7      
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for 
  Gm
the house

       F
Such a modest mouse,
  Eb          Bb        Eb       
I can't do it alone, I can't do 
   F
it alone
Bb           Bbmaj7               
Every time I see you in the world,
 Gm                    F

Eb  Bb  Eb  F

[Verse 2]
Ancestors told me that their girl 
was better
She's richer than Croesus, she's 
tougher than leather
I just ignored all the details of a 
past life
Stale conversation deserves but a 
bread knife
And punks who would laugh when they 
saw us together
Well, they didn't know how to dress 
for the weather
I can still see them there huddled 
on Astor
Snow falling slow to the sound of 
the master

[Chorus] is the same as the verse:
     Bb                  Bbmaj7   
The gloves are off, the wisdom 
        Gm
teeth are out
         F
What you on about?
  Eb            Bb       Eb      
I feel it in my bones, I feel it 
      F
in my bones
    Bb                Bbmaj7      
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for 
  Gm
the house
       F
Such a modest mouse,
  Eb          Bb        Eb       
I can't do it alone, I can't do 
   F
it alone
Bb           Bbmaj7               
Every time I see you in the world,
 Gm                    F
 you always step to my girl

  Bbmaj7  Gm  F

[Verse 3]
Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it 
for youth
Age is an honor - it's still not the
 truth
We saw the stars when they hid from 
the world
You cursed the sun when it stepped 
to your girl
Maybe she's gone and I can't 
resurrect her
The truth is she doesn't need me to 
protect her
We don't know the true death, the 
way of all flesh
Everyone's dying, but girl - you're 
not old yet

[Chorus] is the same as the verse:
     Bb                  Bbmaj7   
The gloves are off, the wisdom 
        Gm
teeth are out
         F
What you on about?
  Eb            Bb       Eb      
I feel it in my bones, I feel it 
      F
in my bones
    Bb                Bbmaj7      
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for 
  Gm
the house
       F
Such a modest mouse,
  Eb          Bb        Eb       
I can't do it alone, I can't do 
   F
it alone
Bb           Bbmaj7               
Every time I see you in the world,
 Gm                    F
 you always step to my girl
