Chords for Old 97's - Longer Than You've Been Alive (Bing Lounge)

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! _ _ _
