In Twenty Years or So
by Father John Misty
From the album Pure Comedy

Not tabbing the strumming pattern, but it’s easy to figure out by listening.

The G7 and G6 can also be played like this (probably what Josh plays), but, without the
piano, I like the
sound of the way I have them tabbed above.

[Verse]
A Asus2
What's there to lose
Cm Cm6
For a ghost in a cheap rental suit
G7 G6 G7 G6
Clinging to a rock that is hurtling through space?
A Asus2
And what's to regret
Cm Cm6
For a speck on a speck on a speck
G7 G6 G7 G6
Made more ridiculous the more serious he gets?
[Chorus]
D
Oh, it's easy to forget
D Am D Am D G Em G Em
[Bridge]
A Bm
Oh, I read somewhere
G/C# G
That in twenty years
G/C# G
More or less
G/C# D Am G
This human experiment will reach its violent end
C G
But I look at you
C G
As our second drinks arrive
C G
The piano player's playing "This Must Be the Place"
D Am
And it's a miracle to be alive
C G
One more time
Bm Am G
There's nothing to fear
Bm Am G
There's nothing to fear
Bm Am G D
There's nothing to fear
