Lyrics and chords:
Intro: F#, B, E, F#, F#, B, E, F#
F# B
The Horizon has been defeated
E F#
By the pirates of the new age
F# B E F#
Alien casinos, well maybe its just time to say
F# B E F#
Things can go bad, make you wanna run away
F# B E C#
But as we grow older, the trouble just seems to stay
F# B E F#
Future complications in the strings between the cans
F# B E F#
But no prints can come from fingers, if machines become our hands
F# B E F#
And then our feet become the wheels, and then the wheels become the cars
F# B E C#
And then the rigs begin to drill until the drilling goes too....far
F# B E F#
Things can go bad, make you wanna run away
F# B E C# B F#
But as we grow older, the horizon begins to fade, fade, fade
C# B F# C# B F#
Fade away
F# B
But thingamajigs are puzzles
E F#
Anger, don't you step too close
F# B E F#
Cause people are lonely and only animals with fancy shoes
F# B E F#
Hallelujahs zig zag nothing, misery is hard to lose
F# B E C#
Cause people are lonely and only animals with too many tools
(D O N T P L A Y H E R E)
That can build all the junk that we sell
(O R H E R E)
Aw, some time, man, make you wanna yell
F# B E F#
Things can go bad, make you wanna run away
F# B E C# B F#
But as we grow older, the horizon begins to fade..away
C# B F#
Fade away
C# B F#
Fade fade fade
C# B F#
Fade fade fade
That's it. Enjoy! Tabbed by Jeff H.
