verse 1
G
1990, our bodies were mighty

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

As we got older, we crashed a car

And we got our scars from our duel with death

Blood and bone and fainted breath

Men, men
Men, Me----en,

Behold this sagging skin

And these fragile ribs that's caging in

My lungs and soul
C B
Help me to get in if there's a heaven

'Cause it's better than this life I'm told

Every breath I'm struggling

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

Just that peek like locked in heads

The back rolls over, rest your head

Final hours far in bed
