verse 1
G  
1990, our bodies were mighty
B  
Practically brand new
C                                                                      D  
Until 1992, we scraped our knees
G  
Knocked off a tooth in 1994
B  
From falling to the floor
C                                                         D  
We were climbing our trees
Refrain 1
G  
We pedaled fast on our bicycles
B  
And we got our wounds from
C                              B                              Em  
Tumbling hard on the ground
C                                                                                      B  
As children, we were made to mess around
                                     C  
Back then our bodies were so restless
                                B  
And our bones used to be kind
                G                            B                                      Em  
And our muscles seemed to be so strong
C  
And our limbs were so connected
                        B  
Neurons coursing through our minds
                        G                                              B                              Em  
But our parts are getting in and going wrong
C  
We were younger then
B  
Now decaying machines and men

verse 2
G                                                                      B  
1998, our bodies were so, so great
C                                                                                 D  
And we rode our roller skates so well
G  
Twisted an ankle to a frightening tumble
B  
We called upon angels to fix this up
C                                                                    D  
'Cause we swore to never tell
Refrain 2
G                                                      B  
As we got older, we crashed a car
                                          C                                                              D  
And we got our scars from our duel with death
C                                                                            D  
Blood and bone and fainted breath
                                     C  
Back then our bodies were so restless
                                B  
And our bones used to be kind
                G                            B                                      Em  
And our muscles seemed to be so strong
C  
And our limbs were so connected
                        B  
Neurons coursing through our minds
                        G                                              B                              Em

Men, men
Men, Me----en,
C  
Behold this sagging skin
B                                                                                            Em  
And these fragile ribs that's caging in
B                                    Em  
My lungs and soul
C                                                                 B  
Help me to get in if there's a heaven
C                                            B                                                         Em  
'Cause it's better than this life I'm told
C                                                            B  
Every breath I'm struggling
                                                                                                                             G  
And I can't remember how it felt not to be this old
C                                              B                              C              B            Em  
Please just get me in if there's a heaven
