G Cmaj7
time for the final bow ,
G Cmaj7
rows of deserted houses ,
G G/F# Em
all our stable mates highway bound .

G Cmaj7
give us our measly sum ,
G Cmaj7 G G/F#
getting the air inside my lungs is heavenly ,
Em G G/F# Em
starting out , with nothing but crippling doubt .
C D Em G x2

C D Em G C D G
we’ll rest easy , jus – ti – fied .

G Cmaj7
suffered a swift defeat ,
G Cmaj7
ill endure countless repeats ,
G G/F# Em
the gift of memory’s an awful curse ,
G G/F# Em
with age it just gets much worse ,
D C G Em
but i won’t mind ,
D C G Em
i won’t mind ,
D C G Em
i won’t mind ,
D C G
i won’t mind .

then something like the verse , and you’re done
