Capo 4 

VERSE 
A 
I was once a boy in love with strangers 

D 
As I watched them smoke their cigarettes I'd wave 

A 
I was much too young to think of danger 

D 
I was curious and innocent and brave 

A 
Now the wrinkles in my face have gotten deeper 

D 
I'm an old man that's just 25 years young 

A 
I try to keep myself away from mirrors 

D 
They remind me of the stupid things I've done 

PREChorus 

F#                                     Em 
Because after all man's intellect and power 

D                                       F# 
All you get is 650,000 hours if you're lucky then you're dead 

          Em                                  D 
Says the voice inside my head that keeps me moving on 


That keeps me singing these songs 

Chorus 
A  
So sing along, oh, oh, here we go, been down this road 

                                             D  
About a thousand times before but we ain't bored 


Oh, oh, here we go, singing songs we wrote 

                                            F# 
About a thousand times before but we ain't bored 

               Em                     D  
The same four chords, the same four chords 

VERSE 

Now the beard upon my face has gotten thicker 
To protect me from the storms that come my way 
Maybe when life's done I'll be the singer 
In the band that plays outside of Heaven's gate 

PREChorus 

'Cause after all man's intellect and power 
All you get is 650,000 hours if you're lucky then you're dead 
Says the voice inside my head that keeps me moving on 
That keeps me singing these songs 

Chorus 

So sing along, oh, oh, here we go, been down this road 
About a thousand times before but we ain't bored 
Oh, oh, here we go, singing songs we wrote 
About a thousand times before but we ain't bored 
The same four chords, the same four chords 
The same four chords, the same four chords 

BRIDGE 

D         Em           F# 
Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad 

    A                    D 
My life was filled with songs 

              Em  
And even if I die tomorrow 

F#                      A  
These four chords will keep me living on 

Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad 
My life was filled with songs 
And maybe if I die tomorrow 
These four chords will keep me living on 

Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad 
My life was filled with songs 
And even if I die tomorrow 
These four chords will keep me living on 

Chorus 
          A             
So sing along, oh, oh, the songs that we wrote 


Are playing back on the radio 

D 
Oh, oh, if I die tomorrow 

 F#                     Em  
These four chords will keep me living on 

A 
Oh, oh, the songs that we wrote 


Are playing back on the radio 

D 
Oh, oh, if I die tomorrow 

F#                      Em  
These four chords will keep me living on 

F#                      Em  
These four chords will keep me living on 

F#                      Em                D     A  
These four chords will keep me living on
