Maybe it would be cool If I rocked it old school Try to break a gold rule And a sweat

I'd be set
Chorus
E B F# A
Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?
E B F# A
If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?
E B F# A
If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?
verse 4 (just like verse 1)
She got a new apartment It's out on the escarpment
And in her glove compartment Are my songs
verse 5 (just like verse 2)
She hasn't even heard them Since she found out what the words meant
She decided she preferred them All wrong
verse 6 (just like Verse 3)
Riff #1
Kind of like the last time
With a bunch of really fast times
Riff #2
If we're living in the past time
Soon gone
Chorus

If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?
Bridge
F# B A
We recognize the present
F# B A
Is half as pleasant
F# B A
As our nostalgia for

The past'll be presented
E
Recast and reinvented
B
Until it's how we meant it
Chorus
let Ring
on first E
E B F# A
Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?
E B F# A
If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?
E B F# A
If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?
He's everything that you need
You wiped out on your ten speed
And either he will succeed
end of Riff #2
Or just suck
Chorus
