Everyone's in line to meet with the man
G Cm
Who blatantly inspired his generation
Bridge 1:
Fm
When they shake his hand and their fingers explode
G
Breaking both our necks by the tips of our toes
Fm Cm
Then they turn to me, cause you died I suppose
G
But I can't seem to glance fast enough to be sure
Chorus 2:
Cm G Cm
Back to summer days, cold hands on the beach

G Cm
Suddenly I lived to learn to feed you

G
Set the record straight in the old fashioned style

Never took too much, though I should have made more
G
You are still my friend, though you were not before
