Intro:
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
A A7 F#m E D A D E (x2)
Verse 1:
[A]Back back way back
I used to [A7]front like Angkor Wat, Me[F#m]chanicsburg, Anchorage and [E]Dar es Salaam
While [D]home from New York was [A]champagne and disco
[D]Tapes from L.A. sl[E]ash San Francisco
But [A]actually Oakland and [A7]not Alameda
Your [F#m]girl was in Berkeley with her [E]communist reader
[D]Mine was entombed within b[A]oombox and Walkman
[D]I was a hoarder but g[E]irl, that was back then
Bridge:
[A] [A7] [F#m] [E]
Chorus:
The [A]gloves are off, the [A7]wisdom teeth are [F#m]out
What you o[E]n about?
I [D]feel it in my [A]bones, I [D]feel it in my b[E]ones
I'm [A]stronger now, I'm [A7]ready for the [F#m]house
Such a m[E]odest mouse
I [D]can't do it a[A]lone, I [D]can't do it a[E]lone
[A]Every time I see [A7]you in the world, you [F#m]always step to my [E]girl
[D] [A] [D] [E]
Verse 2:
[A]Ancestors told me that [A7]their girl was better
She's [F#m]richer than Croesus, she's [E]tougher than leather
[D]I just ignored all the [A]tales of a past life
[D]Stale conversation de[E]serves but a bread knife
And [A]punks who would laugh when they [A7]saw us together
Well [F#m]they didn't know how to [E]dress for the weather
[D]I can still see them there [A]huddled on Astor
[D]Snow falling slow to the [E]sound of the Master
Chorus:
The [A]gloves are off, the [A7]wisdom teeth are [F#m]out
What you o[E]n about?
I [D]feel it in my [A]bones, I [D]feel it in my b[E]ones
I'm [A]stronger now, I'm [A7]ready for the [F#m]house
Such a m[E]odest mouse
I [D]can't do it a[A]lone, I [D]can't do it a[E]lone
[A] [A7] [F#m] [E] [D] [A] [D] [E]
Verse 3:
[A]Wisdom's a gift but you'd [A7]trade it for youth
[F#m]Age is an honour - it's [E]still not the truth
[D]We saw the stars when they [A]hid from the world
[D]You cursed the sun when it [E]stepped to your girl
[A]Maybe she's gone and I [A7]can't resurrect her
The [F#m]truth is she doesn't need [E]me to protect her
We [D]don't know the true death - the [A]true way of all flesh
[D]Everyone's dying but [E]girl - you're not old yet
Chorus:
The [A]gloves are off, the [A7]wisdom teeth are [F#m]out
What you o[E]n about?
I [D]feel it in my [A]bones, I [D]feel it in my b[E]ones
I'm [A]stronger now, I'm [A7]ready for the [F#m]house
Such a m[E]odest mouse
I [D]can't do it a[A]lone, I [D]can't do it a[E]lone
The [A]gloves are off, the [A7]wisdom teeth are [F#m]out
What you o[E]n about?
I [D]feel it in my [A]bones, I [D]feel it in my b[E]ones
I'm [A]stronger now, I'm [A7]ready for the [F#m]house
Such a m[E]odest mouse
I [D]can't do it a[A]lone, I [D]can't do it a[E]lone
[A]Every time I see [A7]you in the world, you [F#m]always step to my [E]girl
[D] [A] [D] [E] [A]
