Old 97's - Longer Than You've Been Alive (Bing Lounge) chords
Start Jamming...
It's live in the Bing Lounge, presented by Intel.
Please make some more noise for old 97s.
[F] We're really happy to be [Cm] in folk.
[C] I'm very happy to be back at the Bing Lounge.
Alright, we're gonna start it off here.
We've been doing this longer than you've been alive
Propelled by some mysterious drive
[C] They still let me do it as weird as that [F] seems
And I do it most nights and then again in my dreams
[G] Infinite hallways and giant hotels
Dressing [F] room looks about as good as it [C] smells
Bottles of whiskey, bottles of beer
There's a bottle of medicine somewhere around here
[F] We've been in nightclubs and we've been in bars
[C] Honky-tonks and theaters from Memphis to Mars
[G] Most of our shows were a triumph of rock
[C] Although some nights I might have been checking the clock
[C]
I'm only human though I'm super at times
I jumped off the rises I should not have climbed
[F] The rock jumps won't kill you till one of them does
[C] They'll say he died doing what he loves
[G] We got our share of loving in our past
[F] Although we were all looking for someone who'd laugh
[C]
But it must be hard to get partnered with me
Some narcissism, some OCD
[F] The love that comes easy is a fake or a fluke
[C] Love is a marathon sometimes you feel
[G] Speaking of which there has been alcohol
[F]
Oceans and oceans of dazzling [G] all
Mountains of weed, a handful of [F] pills
None of the hard stuff, that stuff kills [G] me
Doing it longer than you've been [F] alive
Twenty good years, I'm about twenty [C]-five
[F]
Rock and roll's been very good [C] to me
[G] The open [F] road's the only place [C] I wanna be
[F]
Rock and roll's been very [C] good to me
[G]
The open road's the only [B] place I wanna [C] be
[Cm]
[G] Now I'm [C] not crazy about songs that get self-referential
And most of this stuff should be kept confidential
[F] But who even gives half a care anymore?
But [C] you should know the truth, it's both a blast and a bore
[G] Rock stars are one such mythical [F] creature
Armed with presidents, playmates, [C] and preachers
Now you just do it cause it's what you [G] do
[Cm] [C] They blow underwear instead of money at you
I [E] [F] made a living out of shaking my ass
And [C] if you offered me an office, I'd have to pass
But our [G] jobs are all jobs and sometimes [F] they suck
I love what I do and I've had pretty good [C] luck
The fans are all clapping, screaming, and squealing
And I won't lie to you, that's a pretty sweet feeling
[F] Now I might butt heads with the guys in my band
[C] But I never once went to work for the man
[G] I'll bet the men and the women like you, him and her
[F] We're sharing this night, it'll soon be a blur
[G] It's been two minutes longer than you've been [F] alive
So get on the bus, tell the driver to drive
[C] Yeah!
[F] Rock and roll's very, very, very [C] good to me
[G] The open [F] road's the only place [C] I wanna be
[F] Rock and roll's very, very, very [C] good to me
The [G] open road's the only place [C] I wanna be
[F] Rock and roll's very, very, [C] very good to me
The [G] open road's the only place [C] I wanna be
[G] The open road's the only place [C] I wanna be Yeah!
Yeah!
