[Verse 1]
 G       F                                                  G
They say at the age of hundred years you should’ve seen it all
 G                   F                          G
That was what I was told the day I was born in 1911
    C
To see a thousand shooting stars oh yes, I’ve heard that story …
   G                F                            G
… too the sound of war and people riding on the moon
     F                                G
My thoughts they fly around me in my room
      F                        G
I’m resting here awaiting my doom

[Verse 2]
 G             F                                    G
In the dawning of my days a wealthy looking family came to me
 G              F                                             G
They did promise they would treat me well, but that I didn’t see
   C
I wanna hear the people sing oh yes (Oh yes), that’s what I wanna …
  G              F                           G
… do the stride, go away until you hit the shore
     F                        G
I’m still aware of what I was before.
   F                               G
I need someone to free my from my bore

[Verse 3]
 G              F                                                          G
Enter me that’s what I told the younglings here, as they drew closer to my door
 G                F                                                     G
Tear me down I’m tired of the silent life, heal me and I I’ll never go away
    C
My floors they’re gonna shake the earth oh yes (oh yes). Let it happen …
   G            F                         G
… soon I’ll be back to wooden pieces all again.
    F                               G
Perhaps you’ll be the one to make me sane.
    F                              G
I hope this waiting hasn’t been in vain.
