BPM: 124 

Intro: D 



[Verso 1]
 
                   D        D6 
I was such a great dancer, 
D6 
When I was three, 
D 
The glory days of my infant phase, 
    D6 
The time before reality, 
Bm7 
Introduced me to the concept, 
            Dm7 
There was a ceiling to being me, 
D                         Dmaj7 
Before the fall, before I hit the wall, 
  D6 
I still wanna be, 
D Em F#m G  F#m  F Em7     D        D 
                  Hip like Cohen, (ooh . . .). 
 


[Verso 2]
 
               D 
There was that awkward phase, 
           D6         D 
When I was lonely and square, 
           D                         D 
If I could travel time Id tell that pal of mine, 
D6            D6      D 
Not to give a flying  care, 
D           D6 D 
About being famous, 
D       D6  D 
Staying nameless, 
D    D6      D         D6     D 
That walking backwards can be dangerous.

D Em F#m G     D/F# 
         Thing is, 
       Em         D 
At the end of the day, 
Em  F#m G        D/F# 
You can dress me up, 
      Em              D 
Cant tell me what to say, 
Em   F#m  G   D/F# 
Call it   heresy, 
  Em          D 
I still wanna be, 
F   Em7     D 
   Hip Like Cohen, (Oooh . . .). 
 


[Verso 3]
 
        D 
Sipping sidecars while posing, 
       D6       D 
Lining up to be seen, 
         D6     D 
Proud to be postmodern, 
        D6                       D 
Without really knowing what that means, 
        D 
We were party cats, 
       D6    D 
Saying fancy that, 
D6                           D 
Yeah we were all chasing the dream.

[Verso 4]
 
D 
These days I buy vinyl, 
D6                       D 
It makes the songs sound smooth, 
D 
I sit and listen on my flowered couch, 
D6 
When Im in the mood, 
D 
Embracing every moment, 
    D6 
Not thinking all the time, 
  D 
A path is just a road I walk, 
    D6 
Im not looking for any signs.
