[Verse 1]
Bm G Dsus2
Check your watch; you're fourteen and more.

Here lies a road not travelled before.

Down in the cellar, there's beer on your breath.

And up off the floor, did you let him explore?
[Bridge]

Oooo oooh Oooo oooh Oooo Oooo Ooooh (let G ring)
[Verse 2]
Bm G Dsus2
Check your map. You're Louis Riel.

Out in the flatland, the money's all spent.
Bm G D A
And out in the field, your fate has been sealed.

Oooo oooh Oooo oooh Oooo Oooo Ooooh
[Chorus]
D A D A
I'm the King of the Past, but still I walk forward.

But planes fly right over them. (let G ring)

[Verse 3]
Bm G Dsus2
Check your map, 'cause you've lost your watch.

Find your way homeward. The rivers are freezing.
Bm G D A
And under the ice, the borders are changing.

Oooo oooh Oooo oooh Oooo Oooo Ooooh
[Chorus]
D A D A
I'm the King of the Past, but still I walk forward.
D A G A
I step over hundreds of years yet to come,
D A D A
While the eyes in the back of my head draw no borders,
Bm A G
Just rivers that channel the rain.
