verse 1 
G 
1990, our bodies were mighty 
B 
Practically brand new 
C                           D 
Until 1992, we scraped our knees 
G 
Knocked off a tooth in 1994 
B 
From falling to the floor 
C                      D 
We were climbing our trees 

Refrain 1 
G 
We pedaled fast on our bicycles 
B 
And we got our wounds from 
C            B            Em 
Tumbling hard on the ground 
C                                 B 
As children, we were made to mess around 

              C 
Back then our bodies were so restless 
            B 
And our bones used to be kind 
      G           B               Em 
And our muscles seemed to be so strong 
C 
And our limbs were so connected 
         B 
Neurons coursing through our minds 
         G                  B            Em 
But our parts are getting in and going wrong 
C 
We were younger then 
B 
Now decaying machines and men

verse 2 
G                           B 
1998, our bodies were so, so great 
C                               D 
And we rode our roller skates so well 
G 
Twisted an ankle to a frightening tumble 
B 
We called upon angels to fix this up 
C                          D 
'Cause we swore to never tell 

Refrain 2 
G                     B 
As we got older, we crashed a car 
                C                        D 
And we got our scars from our duel with death 
C                             D 
Blood and bone and fainted breath 

              C 
Back then our bodies were so restless 
            B 
And our bones used to be kind 
      G           B               Em 
And our muscles seemed to be so strong 
C 
And our limbs were so connected 
         B 
Neurons coursing through our minds 
         G                  B            Em 
But our parts are getting in and going wrong 
C 
We were younger then 
B 
Now decaying machines and men
 

Bridge 
Em 
Men, men 
Men, Me----en, 
C 
Behold this sagging skin 
B                                   Em 
And these fragile ribs that's caging in 
B              Em 
My lungs and soul 
C                         B 
Help me to get in if there's a heaven 
C                 B                      Em 
'Cause it's better than this life I'm told 
C                       B 
Every breath I'm struggling 
                                               G 
And I can't remember how it felt not to be this old 
C                  B            C      B     Em 
Please just get me in if there's a heaven 

              C 
And our bodies were so restless 
            B 
And our bones used to be kind 
      G           B               Em 
And our muscles seemed to be so strong 
C 
And our limbs were so connected 
         B 
Neurons coursing through our minds 
         G                  B            Em 
But our parts are getting in and going wrong 
C 
We were younger then 
B 
Now decaying machines and men 


Outro 
Em          B        C         B 
Just that peek like locked in heads 
Em          B        C 
Two blossoms worn in red 
Machines and men 
Em          B        C         B 
Knew this'd come, let this be said 
Em          B        C 
Life hangs loosely by a thread 
Em          B        C         B 
Just that peek like locked in heads 
Em          B        C 
Two blossoms worn in red 
Em          B        C         B 
The back rolls over, rest your head 
Em          B        C 
Final hours far in bed
