[Verse]
Eb Bb
I was young then
Eb
How could I know?
Bb F
The mistakes I made would fade away like names pissed in the snow
Eb Bb
It seems like young men
Eb
Have a reputation to uphold
Bb F Bb
Go get drunk, do something dumb, kiss a girl, bite your tongue, do what you're told
[Verse]
Eb Bb
I'm getting over
Eb
Getting older all the time
Bb F
Guess a toenail makes no difference in a good bottle of wine
Eb Bb Eb
These images that fade, in and out of focus
Looking for that magnum opus
Bb F Bb
Hell I hope it's down the line, as I'm smokin' down this phony showbiz shine
[Verse]
Eb Bb
It seems so seamless
Eb
When you see it all at first
Bb F
And the photo flashes burst, and then the smiling starts to hurt
Eb Bb
But who could dream this?
Eb
It's like I'm drowning in my thirst
Bb F Bb
A fabrication of appeal, let's keep it real, except what's real is all rehearsed
[Instrumental]
Eb Bb Eb Bb F
[Verse]
Eb Bb
I bought this jacket
'Cause the front said Montreal
Bb F
That's a town I had to leave, I didn't wanna leave at all
Eb Bb
When I wear it
Eb
It makes me feel alone
Bb F Bb
It's a reminder that I needed a reminder of the place I once called home
[Verse]
Eb Bb
But in Toronto
Eb
There's a couple parks I know
Bb F
Where the trees flow in the breeze and the people all walk slow
Eb Bb
And I could sit there for hours
Eb
Even in the snow
Bb F Bb
I can always find the time to waste my time, I hope I never let that go
[Outro]

Mmm - mmm - mmm
