Ho (G)ri zon has been de feat ed by the (F)pi rates of the new age.

But A li en come ca si (C)on nos, an if well, (F)may be it’s just time to say And then that things can go zig bad wheels (C)ing, and then and (F)make you want to run a way.
And then But as we grow to old er, un til the (F)trou ble just seems to stay.
(G)Fu a ture com pli ca tions in the (F)strings ger, be you tween the (G)close.
’Cause no prints can lone from fin (C)on gers an i ma (F)chines be with be come our hands.
And then our feet be come zig the noth (C)ing, and then the (F)wheels er be it’s come the cars.
And then the rigs be gin to drill un til the (F)drill ing just goes too far.
(G)Things can go bad
and (F)make you want to run a way.
But as we grow old er, ho (F)ri zon be gins to fade,

(G)peo ple are lone ly and on ly an i (F)mals with too man y tools that can build all the junk that we sell.
Oh, some time, man, make you want to yell, and… (G)Things can go bad
and (F)make you want to run a way.
But as we grow old er, ho (F)ri zon be gins to fade
a way,
fade

fade,
fade,
fade.
