Older And Taller

[Verse 1]

C#                Ab
I remembered you older and taller
           Bbm
But you're younger and smaller
   F#                       C#
So who's gonna call her and say
            Ab         Bbm      F#
That you're back again?

C#                            Ab
And all the lies, they were wiser
                   Bbm
And wise were the lies
                     F#
And the lies were on fire
                       C#             Ab       Bbm      F#
And the fires were put out just to be lit again

Bbm                      F#
You're alone 'til you're not alone
            Ab             C#     Ab
And that's all you need to know
Bbm             F#
Every time you decide to stay
        Ab                  C#   Ab
Then the world will make you go
        Ab                  C#   Ab
And that's all you need to know              - pause -

[Verse 2]

C#                       Ab
All the debts, they got settled
                      Bbm
And the settlers got cattle
                     F#
But the cattle was rattled by the snakes
           C#           Ab       Bbm         F#
That were guarding the garden gates

C#                       Ab
And you retired just in time
                       Bbm
You were about to be fired
             F#                    C#
For being so tired from hiring the ones
         Ab           Bbm      F#
Who will take your place

Bbm                  F#
All the lies on your resume
      Ab                  C#     Ab
Have become the truth by now
Bbm                      F#
And the things that you never did
      Ab                  C#     Ab
Have become your youth, somehow
      Ab                  C#     Ab
You know everything by now

[Bridge]

C# Ab   C#   Ab
Enjoy your youth
C#      Ab  C#   Ab
Sounds like a threat
C# Ab   C#  Ab
Enjoy your youth
C#      Ab  C#  Ab
Sounds like a threat
C#  Ab  C# Bbm Bbm F#
But I will anyway            - pause - 

C# Ab C#     Bbm Bbm F#     
- pause -
C# Ab C#     Bbm Bbm F#    F#   F#   F#

{Verse 3]

C#                Ab
I remembered you older and taller
             Bbm
But you're younger and smaller
    F#                       C#
So who's gonna call her and say
             Ab         Bbm    F#
That you're here at last?

C#                           Ab
And all the days, they were longer
                            Bbm
And the drinks, they were stronger
                    F#                        
The words, we sang wrong
                      C#
But the songs were remembered
     Ab            Bbm    F#
And time just passed

[Chorus]

Bbm                       F#
You're around 'til you're not around
           Ab                C#     Ab
And that's all I need to know
Bbm                       F#
Every time you decide to stay
          Ab                C#      Ab
Then the world will make you go
          Ab                C#      Ab
And that's all you need to know

[Outro]

C#  Ab C#   Ab
Enjoy your youth
C#   Ab     C#  Ab
Sounds like a threat
C#   Ab C#  Ab
Enjoy your youth
C#    Ab     C#  Ab
Sounds like a threat
C#  Ab  C#   Bbm Bbm F#
But I will anyway            - pause -

C# Ab C#     Bbm Bbm F#
      - pause -
C# Ab C#     Bbm Bbm F#
C# Ab C#     Bbm Bbm F#
C# Ab C#     Bbm Bbm F#
