F C
So it's not
F A# C
Loaded stadiums or ballparks
F C
And we're not
F A# C
kids on swing sets on the blacktop
F Eb7+
And I thought
F (A#) Eb7+
at fifteen that I'd have it down by sixteen
F Eb7+ F
And 24 keeps breathing in my face
Eb7+ F
Like a mad whore
Eb7+ F
And 24 keeps pounding at my door
F Eb7+
A# G# Gm Eb7+
Like a friend you don't want to see
A# G# Gm Eb7+
Oldness comes with a smile to every love given child
Oldness comes to life, the youth, they dream suicide
Oldness comes with a smile to every love given child
Oldness comes to life, the youth, they dream suicide
