Capo 1, it's basically the same chord sequence throughout the song, you can split it
into two parts to make it a bit clearer, the first part being: A Amaj7 F#m E, then the
second part: D A D E
[Intro]
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
A Amaj7 F#m E D A D E (x2)
[Verse]
A
Back back way back
Amaj7 F#m E
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
A Amaj7
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
F#m E
Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader
D A
Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman
D E
I was a hoarder but girl, that was back then
[Bridge]
A Amaj7 F#m E
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 F#m
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
E
What you on about?
D A D E
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
A Amaj7 F#m
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
E
Such a modest mouse
D A D E
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
A Amaj7 F#m E
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
D A D E
[Verse]
A Amaj7
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 Amaj7
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 A
I can still see them there huddled on Astor
D E
Snow falling slow to the sound of the Master
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 F#m
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
E
What you on about?
D A D E
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
A Amaj7 F#m
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
E
Such a modest mouse
D A D E
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
A Amaj7 F#m E D A D E
[Verse]
A Amaj7
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 Amaj7
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
D E
Everyone's dying but girl - you're not old yet
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 F#m
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
E
What you on about?
D A D E
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
A Amaj7 F#m
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
E
Such a modest mouse
D A D E
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
A Amaj7 F#m
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
E
What you on about?
D A D E
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
A Amaj7 F#m
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
E
Such a modest mouse
D A D E
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
A Amaj7 F#m E
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
D A D E A
