[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
I pour steaming milk into paper cups
F
And start conversations with new strangers
G F C
The awkwardness finally burning off like a fever
[Verse 2]
C
But forgetting is a privilege, and I don't forget it
F
I drove up your old block, right past your apartment
G F C
The roommate you hated was carrying boxes of something
[Chorus]
G
Has your face gotten older?
F
Has your voice gotten lower?
Am
I feel the same
F
But the world keeps getting slower
D F
Something inside of me says
C
I'm better than I was
[Verse 3]
C
I couldn't come over, so I met you there
F
And you'd grown a bit taller, same gray in your hair
G F C
That I saw on your mother the day that I met her in Portland
[Verse 4]
C
You know, Maine is such a pleasant place
F
So I could see myself getting in the way
G F C
As soon as I settle, I'll know I can't stay
[Chorus]
G
Has my face gotten older?
F
Has my voice gotten lower?
Am
I feel the same
F
But the world keeps getting slower
D F
Something inside of me says
C
I'm better than I was
[Bridge]
D
And I heard the record that she had bought
F
In the coffee shop
F
But she had it wrong
G
Because he writes of loss
G
And impermanence
C
It's not a break up song
D
While I pour steaming milk
D
Into a paper cup
F
I start a conversation with a new stranger
G
Who says that being left by someone
G
Who don't get you isn't wrong
C
It's a favor
[Chorus]
G
And you're so scared of getting old
F
And I'm so scared of growing slow
Am
Most of all we're scared
F
We're always gonna be alone
D F
But even so something inside of me says
D F
Something inside of me says
D F
Something inside of me says
C
I'm better than before
C
[Verse 1]
