[Verse 1]
 
C                   G
   I remembered you older and taller
           Am
But you’re younger and smaller
   F                        C
So who’s gonna call her and say
            G            Am           F
That you’re back again
 
C                           G
   And all the lies, they were wiser
                      Am
And the wise were the liars
                      F
And the liars were on fire
                       C
And the fires were put out
           G            Am        F
Just to be lit again
 
 
[Refrain]
 
Am                       F
    You’re alone ’til you’re not alone
           G               C   G/B
And that’s all you need to know
Am                   F
    Every time you decide to stay
         G                   C    G/B
Then the world will make you go
           G               C   G/B
And that’s all you need to know
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                         G
   All the debts they got settled 
                     Am
And the settlers got cattle
                   F
But the cattle was rattled
                        C
By the snakes that were guarding 
    G          Am       F
The garden gates
C                            G
     And you retired just in time
                     Am
You were about to be fired 
             F
For being so tired
                C             G               Am       F
From hiring the ones who will take your place
 
 
[Refrain]
 
Am                   F
   All the lies on your resume 
       G                 C  G/B
Have become the truth by now
Am                         F
   And the things that you never did 
       G                   C   G/B
Have become your youth somehow
         G             C   G/B
You know everything by now
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G* F   Dm    G*
Enjoy your youth                 *I prefer to play a G bar here (F bar moved up two frets)
G*     F    Dm G*
Sounds like a threat             
G* F   Dm   G*
Enjoy your youth
G*      F    Dm G*
Sounds like a threat
G*   F Dm    G* G* F
But I will anyway
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C                   G
   I remembered you older and taller
           Am
But you’re younger and smaller
   F                        C
So who’s gonna call her and say
            G            Am      F
That you’re here at last
C                             G
   And all the days they were longer 
                         Am
And the drinks they were stronger
                  F
The words we sang wrong 
                   C
But the songs were remembered 
    G                Am       F
And time just passed
 
 
[Refrain]
 
Am                           F
   You’re around ’til you’re not around 
           G               C  G/B
And that’s all you need to know
Am                  F
   Every time you decide to stay 
         G                   C  G/B
Then the world will make you go
           G               C  G/B
And that’s all you need to know
 
 
[Bridge/Outro]
 
G* F   Dm    G*
Enjoy your youth                 *I prefer to play a G bar here (F bar moved up two frets)
G*     F    Dm G*
Sounds like a threat             
G* F   Dm  G*
Enjoy your youth
G*      F   Dm G*
Sounds like a threat
G*   F Dm    G* G* F   <-- Repeat these chords during the outro.
But I will anyway
