Verse 1:
G+G
1990, our bodies were mighty
BB
Practically brand new
C majorC              D MajorD
Until 1992, we scraped our knees
G+G
Knocked off a tooth in 1994
BB
From falling to the floor
C majorC           D MajorD
We were climbing our trees

Refrain 1:
G+G
We pedaled fast on our bicycles
BB
And we got our wounds from
C majorC      BB      E minorEm
Tumbling hard on the ground
C majorC                 BB
As children, we were made to mess around


Chorus:
       C majorC
Back then our bodies were so restless
      BB
And our bones used to be kind
   G+G      BB        E minorEm
And our muscles seemed to be so strong
C majorC
And our limbs were so connected
     BB
Neurons coursing through our minds
     G+G         BB      E minorEm
But our parts are getting in and going wrong
C majorC
We were younger then
BB
Now decaying machines and men

E minorEm G+G C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD

Verse 2:
G+G              BB
1998, our bodies were so, so great
C majorC                D MajorD
And we rode our roller skates so well
G+G
Twisted an ankle to a frightening tumble
BB
We called upon angels to fix this up
C majorC             D MajorD
'Cause we swore to never tell

Refrain 2:
G+G           BB
As we got older, we crashed a car
        C majorC            D MajorD
And we got our scars from our duel with death
C majorC               D MajorD
Blood and bone and fainted breath

Chorus:
       C majorC
Back then our bodies were so restless
      BB
And our bones used to be kind
   G+G      BB        E minorEm
And our muscles seemed to be so strong
C majorC
And our limbs were so connected
     BB
Neurons coursing through our minds
     G+G         BB      E minorEm
But our parts are getting in and going wrong
C majorC
We were younger then
BB
Now decaying machines and men

Bridge:
E minorEm
Men, men
Men, Me----en,
C majorC
Behold this sagging skin
BB                  E minorEm
And these fragile ribs that's caging in
BB       E minorEm
My lungs and soul
C majorC             BB
Help me to get in if there's a heaven
C majorC         BB           E minorEm
'Cause it's better than this life I'm told
C majorC            BB
Every breath I'm struggling
                        G+G
And I can't remember how it felt not to be this old
C majorC         BB      C majorC   BB   E minorEm
Please just get me in if there's a heaven

Chorus 2:
       C majorC
And our bodies were so restless
      BB
And our bones used to be kind
   G+G      BB        E minorEm
And our muscles seemed to be so strong
C majorC
And our limbs were so connected
     BB
Neurons coursing through our minds
     G+G         BB      E minorEm
But our parts are getting in and going wrong
C majorC
We were younger then
BB
Now decaying machines and men

Outro:
E minorEm     BB    C majorC     BB
Just that peek like locked in heads
E minorEm     BB    C majorC
Two blossoms worn in red
Machines and men
E minorEm     BB    C majorC     BB
Knew this'd come, let this be said
E minorEm     BB    C majorC
Life hangs loosely by a thread
E minorEm     BB    C majorC     BB
Just that peek like locked in heads
E minorEm     BB    C majorC
Two blossoms worn in red
E minorEm     BB    C majorC     BB
The back rolls over, rest your head
E minorEm     BB    C majorC
Final hours far in bed

BB E minorEm
