[Verse 1]
Bb
Back, back, way back
F/A
I used to front
Like Angkor Wat
Gm
Mechanicsburg,
Anchorage and
F
Dar es Salaam
Eb
While home in
New York was
Bb/D
Champagne and disco
Eb
Tapes from L.A.
F
Slash San Francisco
[Verse 2]
Bb
But actually Oakland
F/A
And not Alameda
Cm
Your girl was in
Berkeley with her
F
Communist reader
Eb
Mine was entombed
Bb/D
Within boombox
And Walkman
Eb
I was a hoarder,
F
But girl, that
Was back then
[Chorus]
Bb Bb
The gloves are off,
F/A
The wisdom
Gm
Teeth are out
F
What you on about?
Eb Bb/D
I feel it in my bones
Eb F
I feel it in my bones
Bb
I'm stronger now,
F/A Gm
I'm ready for the house

Such a modest mouse

[Verse 3]
Bb
Ancestors told
F/A
Me that their
Girl was better
Cm
She's richer
Than Croesus,
F
She's tougher
Than leather
Eb
I just ignore all
Bb/D
The tales of
Her past life
Eb
Stale conversation
F
Deserves but
A bread knife
[Verse 4]
Bb
And punks who
Would laugh when
F/A
They saw us together
Cm
Well, they didn't
Know how to
F
Dress for the weather
Eb
I can still see
Them there,
Bb/D
Huddled on Astor
Eb
Snow falling slow
F
To the sound
Of the master
[Chorus]
Bb
The gloves are off,
F/A
The wisdom
Gm
Teeth are out
F
What you on about?
Eb Bb/D
I feel it in my bones
Eb F
I feel it in my bones
Bb
I'm stronger now,
F/A Gm
I'm ready for the house
F
Such a modest mouse
Eb Bb/D
I can't do it alone
Eb F
I can't do it alone

[Bridge]
Bb
Wisdom's a gift,
F/A
But you'd trade
It for youth
Eb
Age is an honor,
Cm
It's still not the truth
We saw the stars
Gm
When they hid
From the world
Eb
You cursed
The sun when it
F
Stepped to your girl
Bb
Maybe she's gone and
F/A
I can't resurrect her
Cm
The truth is
She doesn't need
Cm
Me to protect her
We know the
Gm
True death, the true
Way of all flesh
Eb
Everyone's dying,
F
But girl,
You're not old yet
[Chorus]
Bb
The gloves are off,
F/A
The wisdom
Gm
Teeth are out
F
What you on about?
Eb Bb/D
I feel it in my bones
Eb F
I feel it in my bones
Bb
I'm stronger now,
F/A Gm
I'm ready for the house
F
Such a modest mouse
