[Intro]
G Bm C G -(Change fast)- G/F# Em Am C D
 
[Verse 1]
           G                Bm
There's a bear inside your stomach
               C                 G  G/F#
The cub's been kicking from within.
      Em                  Am
He's loud, though without vocal chords
      C                D
We'll put an end to him
            G              Bm
We'll make all the right appointments
       C              G - (Change To Next Line fast)
No one ever has to know.
G/F#         Em                Am
And then tomorrow I'll turn 21
       C                 D
We'll script another show
             G                 Bm
We'll play charades up in the Chelsea
         C                     G         G/F#
Drink champagne although you shouldn't be.
         Em             Am                  C   D
We'll be blind and dumb until we fall asleep
             G
None of our friends will come
      Bm
They dodge our calls.
          C                   G - (Change To Next Line fast)
And they have for quite a while now
G/F#            Em
It's not a shock
                    Am     C                 D
You don't seem to mind and I just can't see how.
 
[Chorus]
          C     Bm
We're too old
          Am          D
We're not old, old at all
     C      Bm
Just too old
          Am          D
We're not old, old, old at all
 
[Verse 2]
          G                Bm
There's a bear inside your stomach
               C                   G - (Change To Next Line fast)
The cub's been kicking you for weeks
G/F#           Em             Am
And if this isn't all a dream
                C                  D
Well then we'll cut him from beneath
               G                 Bm
Well we're not scared of making caves
            C                G - (Change To Next Line fast)
Or finding food for him to eat
G/F#        Em             Am
We're terrified of one another
         C                 D
And terrified of what that means
               G            Bm
But we'll make only quick decisions
                C              G        G/F#
And you'll just keep my in the waiting room
     Em                Am
And all the while I'll know we're fucked
        C                 D
And not getting unfucked soon
             G                Bm
When we get home we're bigger strangers 
           C              G - (Change To Next Line fast)
Than we've ever been before
G/F#           Em           Am          C                  D
You sit in front of snowy television, suitcase on the floor
 
 
[Chorus 2]
          C      Bm
We're too old
          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.
         C      Bm
Just too old
          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.
         C      Bm
Just too old
          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.
         C      Bm
Just too old
          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.
         C      Bm
Just too old
          Am     D
We're not old, old at all.
         C      Bm
Just too old
          Am    D
We're not old, old, old at all.

What you're calling "F#" is actually "G/F#" Please fix this.

I find it's a lot easier to play and sounds closer to the original with a capo on the 7th fret

The chord after the second G is more like a walk-down into the Em than its own part, in case anyone was confused on how to play that section.
