Intro: C E F G Verse: C We both got some hard-knocks we might have earned E Some folks Go to school F Others have to learn that most of life is wishing G Tryinʼ to get back to a memory of a memory You never mightʼve had C My heartʼs a locomotive Runs on blackened coal E And cigarettes and coffee I could never roll my own F Iʼm borrowing matches from the padre Hearing church bells toll G Wondering what the hellʼs the difference Between dying and getting old Chorus: F That canʼt be right C What year is it this year tonight? G If I die, Iʼll die of fright C That canʼt be right Verse: C That acid flashback really Really cracked my ice E Do the right drug once Youʼll get to Do it twice F And now Iʼm crowinʼ about places And things Iʼve never been G You know Iʼm never gonna whore it out And take that gig again C I believe the light is cracklinʼ Round the edge of anesthesia E Lying on a table With the whole world reachinʼ in ya F Hope to Jesus Buddha Bob That they washed their hands G Thereʼs no class action package To break all my shitty bands Chorus: F That canʼt be right C What year is it this year tonight? G If I die, Iʼll die of fright C That canʼt be right C E F G Verse: C When I was younger It confused me Now I think I get it E My old man, he donʼt like pictures ʼSpecially if heʼs in ʼem F Time is not a mirror Itʼs some distorted view G Of the way you thought you was And what you thought they thought of you C And all the trash that I tossed out It werenʼt by no means good E But just ʼcause someone tells ya Donʼt really mean you should F My friends would try to cheer me on The best they knew to do G But thereʼs no rescuing a diver With two cinder blocks for shoes Chorus: F That canʼt be right C What year is it this year tonight? G If I die, Iʼll die of fright C That canʼt be right Verse: C Iʼm still agog with mortal dogs And skills I donʼt possess E Iʼm a practitioner of practice Iʼm-a givinʼ it my best F Iʼm left and Iʼm still leaving I got several miles to go G I ainʼt ready to Do something ʼTill thereʼs something Iʼm ready for C Thereʼs a pillar in the desert And itʼs all alit with flames E Itʼs been burning there for eons Itʼs the end of all the days F We owe apologies And ass-whoopinʼs It seems to even out G You canʼt never know youʼre happy If youʼve never lived without Chorus: F And thatʼs alright C What year is it this year tonight? G If I die, Iʼll die of fright C Mm mm, that canʼt be right Outro: F That canʼt be right C What year is it this year tonight? G Four white horses towards the light C F G C That canʼt be right
