[Verse 1]
C5
  First thing we'd climb a tree and maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently and listen to our thoughts
Bbadd9                         C5
      With illusions of someday  casting a golden light
Bbadd9
      No dress rehearsal,
C5
  this is our life

[Interlude]
      | C5 - | - D | C5 - |
| - D |

[Pre-Chorus]
C5
  And that's where the hornet stung me
Bbadd9                    C5
      And I had a feverish  dream
With revenge and doubt
Bbadd9                         C5
      Tonight we smoke them out

[Chorus]
G5
  You are ahead by a century
Am
  You are ahead by a century
G5                          Am
  You are ahead by a century

[Verse 2]
C5
  Stare in the morning shroud and then the day began
I tilted your cloud, you tilted my hand
Bbadd9                       C5
      Rain falls in real time  and rain fell through the
night
Bbadd9
      No dress rehearsal,
C5
  this is our life

[Pre-Chorus]
C5
  But that's when the hornet stung me
Bbadd9                   C5
      And I had a serious  dream
With revenge and doubt
Bbadd9
      Tonight we smoke them out
C5 G5
     You are ahead by a century
Am
  You are ahead by a century
G5
  You are ahead by a century
Am G5
     You are ahead by a century
Am
  You are ahead by a century
G5
  You are ahead by a century
Am                             C5
  And disappointing you is getting me down
