Verse 1
G Bm C
Oh Holy Mackerel, can’t you see what time it is?
Em D C
It’s late, and it’s only getting later.
G Bm C
The sun’s on the horizon, and the songs have all be sung.
Em D C
There was whiskey, there was war, there were chrysanthemums.
Verse 2
G Bm C
I beg you, Mr. Fireman, won't you come down from the ledge?
Em D C
Sometimes where there's smoke, there's only smoking
G Bm C
There’s a crack in the ceiling, can’t you see me through the floor?
Em D C
Won’t you sneak downstairs and love me like you did before?
Chorus
C9
If we were younger then
C C9
We must be older now
C C9
Please can you tell me when
C C9
We can pass this old guitar around again?
G D C
Verse 3
G
Well I’m smellin’ armageddon
Bm C
Smells like sulfur, smells like wine.
Em D C
I’ll be alright, just get me to the church on time.
G
I can’t breathe without my helmet,
Bm C
I hear it’s cold in outer space.
Em D C
So I guess I’ll lay my bones down with the human race.
Em D C
Did I think to tell you that last time I saw your face?
Chorus
C9
If we were younger then
C C9
We must be older now
C C9
Please can you tell me when
C C9
I can come home again?
C9
Am7 G D
I guess this is growing up
Am7 G D
And time ain't slowing down for no one
Am7 G C9
Lemme be ok with the grays, and the great unknown
Am7 G D (as many times as needed for solo)
Verse 4
G
Well she’s got an eye for anthills
Bm C
And I’ve got anthills for eyes
Em D C
Even though I’m strange, I ain’t a stranger.
G
I got salt on my shoulder,
Bm C
Jack of diamonds in my hand.
Em D C
If you gotta call me something, call me lucky, man
Em D C
But I guess there’s still a lot that I don’t understand
Chorus
C9
If we were younger then
C C9
We must be older now
C C9
Please can you tell me when
C C9
We can watch the walls turn pink with dawn again?
C C9
If we were younger then
C C9
We must be older now
C C9
Please can you tell me when
C C9
We can watch the sun peek over that great blue world again?
C9 G
