<...fingerpicking guitar part defined above...>

like an old man in a dress
treat me like a twelve year old man
no more hearts

don't know what twenty is
don't know where the tree stands
only follow these hands

<...start strumming...>

at midnight i reach for the blind
A <open> B D Em
toward your head but don't touch it

i'll wish i had but when i'm dead
A <open> B D Em
at midnight i hit your song - it sings again

don't know what age is

don't know where the tree stands
A <open> B D Em
i only follow these hands

i couldn't make you crazy if i tried
A <open> B D Em
we've been swinging around the tree - for how long now?
maybe she wants to be cared for
stay home a month here a month there
maybe take to their open roads
maybe take to their open roads
maybe take to their open roads
