C E7 F G
[Verse]
CWe both got some hard-knocks we might have earned
ESome folks Go to school
E7 FOthers have to learn that most of life is wishing
GTryin' to get back to a memory of a memory
You never might've had
CMy heart's a locomotive
Runs on blackened coal
EAnd cigarettes and coffee
E7I could never roll my own
FI'm borrowing matches from the padre
Hearing church bells toll
GWondering what the hell's the difference
G7Between dying and getting old
[Chorus]
FThat can't be right
CWhat year is it this year tonight?
G G7If I die, I'll die of fright
CThat can't be right
[Verse]
CThat acid flashback really
Really cracked my ice
EDo the right drug once
E7You'll get to Do it twice
FAnd now I'm crowin' about places
And things I've never been
GYou know I'm never gonna whore it out
G7And take that gig again
CI believe the light is cracklin'
Round the edge of anesthesia
ELying on a table
E7With the whole world reachin' in ya
FHope to Jesus Buddha Bob
That they washed their hands
G GThere's no class action package
G7To break all my shitty bands
[Chorus]
FThat can't be right
CWhat year is it this year tonight?
G G7If I die, I'll die of fright
CThat can't be right
[Instrumental]
C E7 F G G7
[Verse]
CWhen I was younger
It confused me
Now I think I get it
EMy old man, he don't like pictures
E7'Specially if he's in 'em
FTime is not a mirror
It's some distorted view
GOf the way you thought you was
G7And what you thought they thought of you
CAnd all the trash that I tossed out
It weren't by no means good
EBut just 'cause someone tells ya
E7Don't really mean you should
FMy friends would try to cheer me on
The best they knew to do
G GBut there's no rescuing a diver
G7With two cinder blocks for shoes
[Chorus]
FThat can't be right
CWhat year is it this year tonight?
GIf I die, I'll die of fright
CThat can't be right
[Verse]
CI'm still agog with mortal dogs
And skills I don't possess
EI'm a practitioner of practice
E7I'm-a givin' it my best
FI'm left and I'm still leaving
I got several miles to go
G GI ain't ready to Do something
G7'Till there's something I'm ready for
CThere's a pillar in the desert
And it's all alit with flames
EIt's been burning there for eons
E7It's the end of all the days
FWe owe apologies
And ass-whoopin's
It seems to even out
G GYou can't never know you're happy
G7If you've never lived without
[Chorus]
FAnd that's alright
CWhat year is it this year tonight?
G g7
If I die, I'll die of fright
CMm mm, that can't be right
[Outro]
FThat can't be right
c
What year is it this year tonight?
G G7Four white horses towards the light
C F G CThat can't be right
