Older Chests - Damien Rice

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in the wall
Starting small
An grow in time

We all seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf 
of too many books

Read me your favourite line

Papa went to other lands
And he found someone  who understands
The ticking an' the western man's
Need to cry

He came back the other day

Chorus
Yer you know
Some things in life may change
And some things stay the same ...
Like time
There's always time
On my mind
So pass me by 
I'll be fine 
Just give me time

Older gents sit on the fence
With a cap in hand 
Looking grand
They watch their city change




And children scream or so it seems
Louder than before
Outta' doors into stores
With bigger Names

Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces
And Daddy lost at the races
Too many times
She broke down the other day 

Yer you know
Some things in life may change
And some things stay the same ...
Like time
There's always time
On my mind
So pass me by 
I'll be fine 
Just give me time

Hope you enjoy it - I've posted chord versions before but this is my first TAB - the
phrasing of the song is more difficult than the playing - it takes a while to get it
right. Good Luck
Rob
