The Classic Crime - Four Chords

I was once a boy in love with strangers,
As I watched them smoke their cigarettes I'd wave
I was much too young to think of danger,
I was curious and innocent and brave
Now the wrinkles in my face have gotten deeper,
I'm an old man at just 25 years young
I try to keep myself away from mirrors,
they remind me of the stupid things I've done

Cause after all mans intellect and power,
All you get is 650,000 hours if you're lucky then youre dead,
Says the voice inside my head that keeps me moving one,
That keeps me singing these songs

So sing along,
Oh, oh, here we go, been down this road about a thousand times before
But we ain't bored
Oh, oh, here we go singing songs we wrote about a thousand times before
But we ain't bored. The same four chords, the same four chords

Now the beard upon my face has gotten thicker
To protect me from the storms that come my way
Maybe when life's done I'll be the singer in the band that plays outside of heavens gate

Cause after all mans intellect and power,
All you get is 650,000 hours if you're lucky then youre dead,
Says the voice inside my head that keeps me moving one,
That keeps me singing these songs

So sing along,
Oh, oh, here we go, been down this road about a thousand times before
But we ain't bored
Oh, oh, here we go singing songs we wrote about a thousand times before
But we ain't bored. The same four chords, the same four chords.
The same four chords, the same four chords.

Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad my life was filled with songs,
And even if I die tomorrow these four chords will keep me living on.
Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad my life was filled with songs,
And even if I die tomorrow these four chords will keep me living on.
Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad my life was filled with songs,
And even if I die tomorrow these four chords will keep me living on.

So sing along,
Oh, oh, the songs that we wrote,
are playing back on the radio.
Oh, oh, if I die tomorrow these four chords will keep me living on.

Oh, oh, the songs that we wrote,
are playing back on the radio.
Oh, oh, if I die tomorrow these four chords will keep me living on.
these four chords will keep me living on.
these four chords will keep me living on.

650,000 hours is only 74.2 years. Doesn't sound as long when you say it in hours does it?

[InternetNightmare]

[MafiaCupcake]

I heard this song for the first time on the radio yesterday and fell in love with it.

His voice is so interesting. Reminds me of an old friend... <3

Ohhhhh hoooooo lets completely overanalyze the song everyone even tho the song is about the gift God gave the band to write and play. Not about how many years/hours you get on average to live. and when he says "The songs that we wrote." he's including God in the We just so people are clear

[bolita93fool]

This songs catchy !!

@brysonMCLP Please, do us all a favor and let this argument die like it was supposed to. I won't correct you or defend myself like I was going to, because I want people to get back to the song and leave this argument behind. Thanks.

@xOliviax0919x technically its 74.15012548482774 if you want to correct a corrector
