Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Am
People my age

Have started looking gross

I cannot say all
          E
And I shouldn't say most
           Am
I've seen them in the grocery
Am/G        D/F#  F
I've seen 'em up close
     Am
People my age
 E          Am
Have started looking gross

     Am
People my age

Are showing some wear

There's holes where their teeth was
             E
And their heads have gone bare
         Am
Their brains are shrinking
Am/G        D/F#   F
Faces sinking into fat
        Am
And as for the mirror
 E            Am
We won't be looking into that


Am     E     Am
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm


      Am
People my age

Have started looking gross

Maybe not in Colorado
         E
Or up the Silicon Coast
        Am
Back in Pennsylvania
Am/G        D/F#  F
I'd eat scrapple on toast
       Am
Those were my first steps
E           Am
On the road to looking gross



Am    E      Am
Hmm, hmm, hmm, oh, oh, oh, oh


     Am
People my age

Are looking overripe

Some are getting operations
             E
To tighten up what ain't tight
        Am
What gravity's ruined
Am/G          D/F#    F
They try to fix with a knife
            Am
What's pleasant in the darkness
E           Am
Is plain scary in the light


Am    E     Am   Am7
Hmm, hmm, hmm, oh, oh, oh, oh
