From the album The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett


Intro:
C majorC G/BG/B G+G D MajorD G+G
G MajorG D/F#D/F# C majorC D MajorD
G+G D/F#D/F# D MajorD C majorC D MajorD

G+G    D/F#D/F#     C majorC
 In the waning days ahead
 D MajorD            G+G
I gotta look back down the road
 D/F#D/F#      D MajorD    C majorC   D MajorD
I know that it's not too late
G+G    D/F#D/F#        C majorC
 All the stupid things I've said
  D MajorD           G+G
And people I've hurt in my time
    D/F#D/F#      D MajorD   C majorC   D MajorD
Well I hope that it's not my fate

C majorC     D MajorD   B minorBm   C majorC
 To keep defeating my own self
C majorC      D MajorD   BB    E minorEm
 And keep repeating yesterday
C majorC    G/BG/B  G+G    D MajorD
 I can't keep defeating myself
C majorC    G/BG/B  G+G   D/AD/A  C majorC
 I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth

G+G    D/F#D/F#      C majorC
 In the dark of night I might
  D MajorD          G+G
Be able to make myself think
     D/F#D/F#  D MajorD    C majorC   D MajorD
That I'm still a younger man
G+G       D/F#D/F#        C majorC
 But when the light of day shines down
    D MajorD          G+G
There's no way to get around it
   D/F#D/F#  D MajorD    C majorC   D MajorD
I am not the younger man

C majorC     D MajorD   B minorBm   C majorC
 I keep defeating my own self
C majorC      D MajorD   BB B/D#B/D# E minorEm
 And keep repeating yesterday
C majorC    G/BG/B  G+G    D MajorD
 I can't keep defeating myself
C majorC    G/BG/B  G+G   D/AD/A  C majorC
 I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth

C majorC  C/DC/D  C/EC/E D MajorD
 The choice is mine for making
B minorBm     C majorC
 A augmentedA better road ahead
C majorC   C/DC/D C/EC/E D MajorD
 The road that I've been taking
B minorBm   Bm/F#   E minorEm
 Headed for a dead-end
C majorC     G/BG/B   G+G    D/AD/A  C/GC/G
 But it's not too late to turn around

G+G D/F#D/F# C majorC D MajorD
G+G D/F#D/F# D MajorD C majorC D MajorD

G+G    D/F#D/F#     C majorC
 In the final moments I
D MajorD            G+G
Hope that I know that I tried
  D/F#D/F#  D MajorD   C majorC   D MajorD
To do the best I could

C majorC     D MajorD   B minorBm   C majorC
 To stop defeating my own self
C majorC      D MajorD   BB B/D E minorEm Em/DEm/D
 And stop repeating yesterday
C majorC    G/BG/B  G+G    D MajorD
 I can't keep defeating myself
C majorC    G/BG/B  G+G   D/AD/A  C majorC
 I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth

G+G D/F#D/F# C majorC D MajorD   )
