[Verse 1]
Bb                  Bb
"i am mine i am my own"
Bb                 Eb   Bb
Said the ancients years ago
Bb                       Bb
Apples and pears rot and lie
Bb            Eb       Bb
The eulogy itself can write


[Chorus]
Gm                               Bb
When i heard the man was dead i wondered
Gm                       Bb
Do i have a hero that'll stay?
Gm                         Bb
He said "i am mine and no others"
Gm                               Bb
But i never planned to live that way

[Verse 2]
Bb                   Eb        Bb
Cradled hands don't hide your calls
Bb                  Eb      Bb
I hear them rolling in the walls
Bb            Eb       Bb
Calling out toward the wind
Bb             Eb   Bb
Asking how to begin again


[Chorus]
Gm
If you're strange
                     Bb         Eb Bb
Then i would love to meet you
Gm                      Bb      Eb Bb
I can't go on any other way
Gm                          Bb       Eb Bb
Been on my own too long to retreat
Gm                                  Bb
Yeah you're just getting too old to delay
Eb          Bb
    But you say


[Bridge]
Bb        Eb
"soon ooh i will be new
Eb    Eb    Bb
Soon soon
Bb       Eb
Soon ooh i will be new
Eb    Eb      Bb
Soon soon


[Chorus]
Gm
If you're strange
                     Bb         Eb Bb
Then i would love to meet you
Gm                      Bb      Eb Bb
I can't go on any other way
Gm                          Bb       Eb Bb
Been on my own too long to retreat
Gm                                  Bb
Yeah you're just getting too old to delay
