G           Cadd9   A7sus4  G
Time for the final bow,
G         Cadd9   A7sus4
Rows of deserted houses,
G       Dsus4/F#   Gmaj7/B  G/B  Cadd9  G
All our stablemates high----way  bou----nd.


G           Cadd9   A7sus4  G
Give us our measly sum,
G           Cadd9  A7sus4
Getting the air inside
   G       Dsus4/F#  Gmaj7/B  G/B   Cadd9 G
My lungs is heavenly, star----ting  ou----t
     Dsus4/F#    Gmaj7/B  G/B   Cadd9
With nothing but cripp----ling  doubt.

We'll rest easy;
Cadd9  A7sus4  G
Just-----i-----fied.


G          Cadd9    A7sus4
Suffered a swift defeat;
G           Cadd9       A7sus4
I'll endure countless repeats.
    G       Dsus4/F#   Gmaj7/B  G/B  Cadd9  G
The gift of memory's an aw------ful  cur----se,
     Dsus4/F#   Gmaj7/B  G/B   Cadd9
With age it just gets    much  worse.

  Gmaj7/A  G/A    Cadd9  G   A7sus4
But I      won't   mi----nd
  Gmaj7/A  G/A    Cadd9  G   A7sus4
    I      won't   mi----nd
  Gmaj7/A  G/A    Cadd9  G   A7sus4
    I      won't   mi----nd
  Gmaj7/A  G/A    Cadd9  G
    I      won't   mi----nd
