Intro
D D/C# | D/B | A7sus | A |
D D/C# | D/B | A7sus | A |


D D/C#
I am an old man

D/B A7sus A
I am the writing on the wall

D D/C#
I’ve seen a few but they will

D/B A7sus A
Say that I have seen it all

G D
Not a lot of confidence

G A
Even less of self-esteem

D D/C# D/B
That is my means of transportation

A D
Hey, or I can’t move at all

D D/C# | D/B | A7sus | A |


I am a witness of the future
I’m a remnant of the past
I roll in oceans
I will always sing
The song that fails to last
Bones and bakeries
And all that lies in between
These things will shape the weight
of presence
With the first stone that is cast

I am a mirror
I am the side of some old barn
I cannot hear you
I am far farther than long gone
Patience and practicals
May never have been
That is the means of emulation
In the season of the fall

Bridge
G D
It’s not time for that reality
G D
It’s not time for some old charm
G D
In the end a near fatality
Em A A7
Broken minds and broken hearts


D D/C# D/B
I am a picture of the answer
A7sus A
I’m a means unto the end

D D/C# D/B
I am the slowest of all dancers
A7sus A
And I dance without a friend

G
So don’t pause for those
D
Concessions
G A A7
If you know what I mean
D D/C# D/B
As I make my way this warm day
A D
On my stroll across the green
D/C# D/B
I will be making my own way
A A7 D
On my stroll across the green

- Solo -
D D/C# | D/B | A7sus | A |
Repeat…
