Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
The old [Em]bastard left his [D]ties and a [G]suit
[D]A brown box[G],
[D]moth balls and bowl[C]ing [D]shoes
[Em]And his opinion so you never[D]
have to [G]choose[D]
Pretty [G]soon,
you'll [D]be an old [C]bastard, [Em]too

[Verse 2]
[A]You get smaller while the world gets big
[C]The more you know you
know you don't know shit
[A]"The Whiz Man" will never fit
you like "The Whiz [C]Kid" did

[Verse 3]
So [G]why you gotta [D]act like you [Em]know
when you don't [C]know?[Am][C][A]
It's [Em]okay [C]if you
don't know [D]everything
[G]Why you gotta [D]act like you [Em]know
when you don't [C]know?[A]
It's [Em]okay [C]if you don't
know [Em]everything

[Verse 4]
Close your eyes, close your [D]ears,
young [G]man[D]
You've [G]seen and [D]heard
all an old [C]man [D]can
[Em]Spread the facts on the
[D]floor like [G]a fan[D]
Throw [G]away the [D]ones that
make you feel [C]bad

[Verse 5]
[C][A]
Kids today are getting old too fast
They [C]can't wait to grow up
so they can kiss some ass
[A]They get nostalgic 'bout
the last ten years
Before the [C]last ten years have passed
So [G]why you gotta [D]act like you

[Verse 6]
[Em]know
when you [D]don't [C]know?[Am][C][A]
It's [Em]okay [C]if you
don't know [D]everything
[G]Why you gotta [D]act like you [Em]know
when you don't [C]know?[A]
It's [C]okay if you don't know [Em]everything

[D]The old bas[G]tard had[D] a
[G]paradig[C]m arrest

[Verse 8]
[A]He got smaller and the world got big
[C]The more he knew he kne[Am]w
he didn't know [Em]shit
[A]"The Whiz Man" never fit him
like "The Whiz [Bsus4]Kid" did[C]
