Capo 2nd fret

G       Em   G          Em
  I was young and I was dumb
G             Em            Em    Em
  And my left arm was going numb
G         Em              G       Em
  Dare to think, while I'm on the brink
         G              Em                 Em    Em
  That a simple word of comfort just might come

      C                       G
      Brace yourselves, we're heading back
           Bm                Em
      In a time machine to a heart attack
                C               G
      Where the flow of blood into the brain
         Bm                   Em     D   D/E  D/F#  D7/A
      Is down to a trickle, almost insane

           G        Em      G       Em
  They were telling me I was really free
             G             Em            Em    Em
  They could see it by the way I used my words
             G       Em            G                     Em
  But in the dark of night I could see that they weren't right
          G                Em                   Em    Em
  Because speeches are to free as cages are to birds

      C                       G
      Brace yourselves, we're heading back
           Bm                Em
      In a time machine to a heart attack
                C               G
      Where the flow of blood into the brain
         Bm                   Em     D   D/E  D/F#  D7/A
      Is down to a trickle, almost insane

              Bm
              Peel off each old sticker
                       Em
                With a slow and steady hand
            C                   G
              Strip off all the high gloss sheen
                    D                  Em
                And maybe go sell the van
                  Bm               Em
              It's time to let the people know
                           C               G
                That you're sorry that you made 'em go
                       D
              And that life must be a more sacred thing
                       D
                Than a couple cheap words and a promise ring

 G                         G
  So kick me down and then tear tear my gown
            G                                        Dsus4
  I've been prancing 'round the stage in my underwear
 G                   Em         G               Em
  But I just went along, I even led them all in song
         G                     Em              Em    Em
  We had special words that we always used down there

      C                       G
      Brace yourselves, we're heading back
           Bm                Em
      In a time machine to a heart attack
                C               G
      Where the flow of blood into the brain
         Bm                   Em
      Is down to a trickle, almost insane

             C                   G
      It's a deep dark mine and I gave in
             Bm                         Em
      To the fact that we're up against a cave-in
         C                    G
      I'm pretty happy that I lost control
               Bm                         Em
      'Cause I never really had it, I was just
             D   D/E  D/F#  D7/A
       On a roll
