[Verse 1]
Bb Bb
"i am mine i am my own"
Bb Eb Bb
Said the ancients years ago
Bb Bb
Apples and pears rot and lie
Bb Eb Bb
The eulogy itself can write
[Chorus]
Gm Bb
When i heard the man was dead i wondered
Gm Bb
Do i have a hero that'll stay?
Gm Bb
He said "i am mine and no others"
Gm Bb
But i never planned to live that way
[Interlude]
Bb Eb Eb Bb
[Verse 2]
Bb Eb Bb
Cradled hands don't hide your calls
Bb Eb Bb
I hear them rolling in the walls
Bb Eb Bb
Calling out toward the wind
Bb Eb Bb
Asking how to begin again
[Chorus]
Gm
If you're strange
Bb Eb Bb
Then i would love to meet you
Gm Bb Eb Bb
I can't go on any other way
Gm Bb Eb Bb
Been on my own too long to retreat
Gm Bb
Yeah you're just getting too old to delay
Eb Bb
But you say
[Bridge]
Bb Eb
"soon ooh i will be new
Eb Eb Bb
Soon soon
Bb Eb
Soon ooh i will be new
Eb Eb Bb
Soon soon
[Chorus]
Gm
If you're strange
Bb Eb Bb
Then i would love to meet you
Gm Bb Eb Bb
I can't go on any other way
Gm Bb Eb Bb
Been on my own too long to retreat
Gm Bb
Yeah you're just getting too old to delay
