  I remembered you older and taller but you're younger and smaller
    F                        C               G         | Am | F |

  And all the lies, they were wiser and the wise were the liars
                      F                           C
And the liars were on fire and the fires were put out
           G       | Am | F |
Just to be lit again

  You're alone 'til you're not alone and that's all you need to know
Am                 F                      G                 | C  G/B |

  All the debts they got settled and the settlers got cattle
                   F                               C
But the cattle was rattled by the snakes that were guarding
    G          | Am  | F |
The garden gates

C                         G                          Am
  And you retired just in time, you were about to be fired
             F
For being so tired
                C             G             | Am | F |
From hiring the ones who will take your place

Am                                   G               | C   G/B |
  All the lies on your resumé have become the truth by now
Am                        F                G                 | C  G/B |

  And all the days they were longer and the drinks they were stronger             
                  F                          C

  Every time you decide to stay, then the world will make you go

And that's all you need to know
