Chords with lyrics
The same chord progression plays throughout the entire song: Bb majorBb - A minorAm - G minorGm - FF - D#D# - DmDm - D#D# - FF e 1 0 3 1 6 5 6 8 BB 3 1 3 1 8 6 8 10 G+G 3 2 3 2 8 7 8 10 D MajorD 3 2 5 3 8 7 8 10 A augmentedA 1 0 5 3 6 5 6 8 E MajorE 3 1 And I finger pick it - if play the bass note of each bar chord and line it up with the rhythm of the song's bass line it sounds pretty good.
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl Bb majorBb A minorAm Back back way back I used to front like Angkor Wat G minorGm FF Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar es Salaam D#D# DmDm While home in New York was champagne and disco D#D# FF Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco Bb majorBb A minorAm But actually Oakland and Alameda G minorGm FF Your girl was in Berkeley with her Communist reader D#D# DmDm Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman D#D# FF I was a hoarder but girl that was back then Bb majorBb - A minorAm - G minorGm - FF Bb majorBb A minorAm G minorGm The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out FF What you on about? D#D# DmDm D#D# FF I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones Bb majorBb A minorAm G minorGm I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house FF Such a modest mouse, D#D# DmDm D#D# FF I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
Bb majorBb A minorAm G minorGm FF Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl D#D# - DmDm - D#D# - FF Same rhythm and chords run through the rest of the song. Ancestors told me that their girl was better She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather I just ignored all the tales of a past life Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife And punks who would laugh when they saw us together Well, they didn't know how to dress for the weather I can still see them there huddled on Astor Snow falling slow to the sound of the master The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house Such a modest mouse, I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth Age is an honor, it's still not the truth We saw the stars when they hid from the world You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her We know the true death, the true way of all flesh Everyone's dying, but girl you're not old yet The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house Such a modest mouse, I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone [x2] Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
