Song: Bear
Tabbed by: rachelrecaptured
G Bm
There's a bear inside your stomach
C G
The cub's been kicking from within.
Em Am
He's loud, though with our vocal cords,
C D
We'll put an end to him.
G Bm
We'll make all the right appointments
C G
No one ever has to know,
Em Am
And then tomorrow I'll turn twenty-one,
C D
We'll script another show.
G Bm
We'll play charades up in the Chelsea,
C G
Drink champagne, although you shouldn't be.
Em Am C D
We'll be blind and dumb until we fall asleep.
G
None of our friends will come,
Bm
They dodge our calls and
C G
They have for quite awhile now.
Em Am
It's not a shock; you don't seem to mind,
C D
And I just can't see how.
C-D
We're too old.
Am D
We're not old at all
C-D
Just too old
Am D
We're not old at all.
G Bm
There's a bear inside your stomach,
C G
The cub's been kicking you for weeks
Em Am
And if this isn't all a dream,
C D
Well than we'll cut him from beneath.
G Bm
Well we're not scared of making caves,
C G
Or finding food for him to eat.
Em Am
We're terrified of one another
C D
Terrified of what that means.
G Bm
But we'll make only quick decisions,
C G
And you'll just keep me in the waiting room,
Em Am
And all the while I'll know were fucked,
C D
And not getting un-fucked soon.
G Bm
When we get home we're bigger strangers
C G
Than we've ever been before.
Em Am
You sit in front of snowy television,
C D
Suitcase on the floor.
C-D
We're too old.
Am D
We're not old at all
C-D
Just too old
Am D
We're not old at all.
