Over The Hill

John Hiatt / John Hiatt: The Eclipse Sessions (2018)

										I'm over the hill,	under the bridge,

	G	F	Dm		F		G		F
	Still a few peaks and	down the hills, I ain't	seen.

	Dm	F
	You talk about love, I	talk about love,

	G	F	Dm		F		G		F
I	don't know any	better than to	dream.

	C	Bb
	I know your father's house, it	has many rooms.

	C	Bb	A
	I see the young men sweeping	up with their	brooms.

I'm long in the tooth, and what can I say?

I've taken huge bites of life and I ate the bones.

The gristle and marrow feeds my soul,

Gives me the strength to forgive all the sticks and stones.

And what you see in me you think I see too,

I didn't get here telling stories for you.

	C	E
	I hear a distant cry -	A tear forms in your eye;

	F	D
	For the way things might have been -	We can't live that again.

	C	E
	No time to fill the cup -	No time to screw it up;

	F	G	A
	We'll have to place our bets -	On a dog with	no regrets.

Well time won't tell, heaven or hell,

Time just pisses his secrets down the street.

You talk about love, I talk about love,

Sometimes I'll even think we know what we mean.

No band of angels bringing peace to the streets.

We wear the garments and we shuffle our feet.

Oh, I'm over the hill, babe. I'm over the hill baby. I'm over the hill babe.
