Tragically Hip - Ahead By A Century 

   D 
First we'd climb a tree, and maybe then we'd talk 
Or sit silently, and listen to our thoughts 
   Cadd9                                  D 
Illusions of someday, casting a golden light 
   Cadd9                          D 
No dress rehearsal, this is our life                        Int    D  Riff [x2]  


D                                Cadd9                     D 
That's where the hornet stung me, and I had a feverish dream 
                Cadd9                          D 
With revenge and doubt, tonight we smoke them out. 


A                                                G  
You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century,

You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century,                               Int   D Riff [x4] 


   D 
Stare in the morning shroud, and then the day began 
I tilted your cloud, you tilted my hand. 
   Cadd9                                     D 
Rain falls in real time, and rain fell through the night 
      C                                  D 
No dress rehearsal, this is our life               Int  D Riff [x2]  


D                                Cadd9                     D 
That's where the hornet stung me, and I had a feverish dream 
                Cadd9                          D 
With revenge and doubt, tonight we smoke them out.

You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century,

You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century,  
                D 
And disappointing you's getting me down                                                  Int    D  Riff [x4]
