The old bastard left his ties and his suit

Pretty soon, you'll be an old bastard too

You get smaller while the world gets big

The more you know you know you don't know shit

Am                                                                   C

So why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?

Am                       C
It's okay if you don't know everything

     G                         D                   Em                      D-C
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?

It's okay if you don't know everything

Close your eyes close your ears young man
D              G       D                        G              C       D-Em
You've seen and heard all an old man can
Em                                    D                             G
Spread the facts on the floor like a fan
D              G       D                        G              C 
throw away the ones that make you feel bad

Am
Kids today gettin' old too fast
C
they can't wait to grow up so they can get some ass
Am
They get nostalgic about the last ten years
C
before the last ten years have passed

[Chorus]

[Solo]

E                            D                   G
Tears land on a hand on the chest
D            G           D          G          C
The old bastard had a paradigm arrest

Am                                 
You got smaller and the world got big
C
The more you knew we knew we didn't know shit

The whiz man never fit him the whiz kid did
