[Intro]
G G7 F C
[Verse]
GWe both got some hard-knocks we might have earned
GSome folks Go to school
G7 FOthers have to learn that most of life is wishing
CTryin' to get back to a memory of a memory
You never might've had
GMy heart's a locomotive
Runs on blackened coal
GAnd cigarettes and coffee
G7I could never roll my own
FI'm borrowing matches from the padre
Hearing church bells toll
CWondering what the hell's the difference
C7Between dying and getting old
[Chorus]
FThat can't be right
GWhat year is it this year tonight?
C C7If I die, I'll die of fright
GThat can't be right
[Verse]
GThat acid flashback really
Really cracked my ice
GDo the right drug once
G7You'll get to Do it twice
FAnd now I'm crowin' about places
And things I've never been
CYou know I'm never gonna whore it out
C7And take that gig again
GI believe the light is cracklin'
Round the edge of anesthesia
GLying on a table
G7With the whole world reachin' in ya
FHope to Jesus Buddha Bob
That they washed their hands
C CThere's no class action package
C7To break all my shitty bands
[Chorus]
FThat can't be right
GWhat year is it this year tonight?
C C7If I die, I'll die of fright
GThat can't be right
[Instrumental]
G G7 F C C7
[Verse]
GWhen I was younger
It confused me
Now I think I get it
GMy old man, he don't like pictures
G7'Specially if he's in 'em
FTime is not a mirror
It's some distorted view
COf the way you thought you was
C7And what you thought they thought of you
GAnd all the trash that I tossed out
It weren't by no means good
GBut just 'cause someone tells ya
G7Don't really mean you should
FMy friends would try to cheer me on
The best they knew to do
C CBut there's no rescuing a diver
C7With two cinder blocks for shoes
[Chorus]
FThat can't be right
GWhat year is it this year tonight?
CIf I die, I'll die of fright
GThat can't be right
[Verse]
GI'm still agog with mortal dogs
And skills I don't possess
GI'm a practitioner of practice
G7I'm-a givin' it my best
FI'm left and I'm still leaving
I got several miles to go
C CI ain't ready to Do something
C7'Till there's something I'm ready for
GThere's a pillar in the desert
And it's all alit with flames
GIt's been burning there for eons
G7It's the end of all the days
FWe owe apologies
And ass-whoopin's
It seems to even out
C CYou can't never know you're happy
C7If you've never lived without
[Chorus]
FAnd that's alright
GWhat year is it this year tonight?
C g7
If I die, I'll die of fright
GMm mm, that can't be right
[Outro]
FThat can't be right
c
What year is it this year tonight?
C C7Four white horses towards the light
G F C GThat can't be right
