---start---

[...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
