Back back way back

I used to front like Angkor Wat, Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam
D
A
While home from New York was champagne and disco
D
E
Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco

But actually Oakland and not Alameda

Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader
D

Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman

Ancestors told me that their girl was better
F#m
E
She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather
D
A
I just ignored all the tales of a past life
D
E
Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
A
A7M
And punks who would laugh when they saw us together
F#m
E
Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather
D

I can still see them there huddled on Astor
D

Snow falling slow to the sound of the Master

Wisdom's a gift but you'd trade it for youth
F#m
E
Age is an honour - it's still not the truth
D
A
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
D
E
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
A
A7M
Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
F#m
E
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
D
A
We don't know the true death - the true way of all flesh

Everyone's dying but girl - you're not old yet
