G             C     Am  G
Time for the final bow,
G          C       Am
Rows of deserted houses,
G        D/F#        Em      C G
All our stablemates highway bound.

Give us our measly sum
Getting the air inside my lungs
Is heavenly, starting out
With nothing but crippling doubt

C      D    Em    C  D G
We'll rest easy, justified.

Suffered a swift defeat
I'll endure countless repeats
The gift of memory's an awful curse
With age, it just gets much worse

    D        C   G Em
But I won't mind,
D        C   G  Em
I won't mind,
D        C   G  Em
I won't mind,
D        C   G
I won't mind.
