G G Bm Bm C C G G F# F# Em Em Am Am C C D D C#m C#m


Verse:

G G Bm Bm C C G G(the root slide-down is G G, F# F#) Em Em Am Am C C D D


G G Bm Bm
There's a bear inside your stomach

C C G G F# F#
The cub's been kicking from within.

Em Em Am Am
He's loud, though without vocal chords

C C D D
We'll put an end to him


G G Bm Bm
We'll make all the right appointments

C C G G F# F#
No one ever has to know.

Em Em Am Am
And then tomorrow I'll turn 21

C C D D
We'll script another show


G G Bm Bm
We'll play charades up in the Chelsea

C C G G F# F#
Drink champagne although you shouldn't be.

Em Em Am Am
We'll be blind and dumb until we fall asleep


G G Bm Bm
None of our friends will come

C C G G F# F#
They dodge our calls.

Em Em Am Am
And they have for quite a while now

C C
It's not a shock
D D
You don't seem to mind and I just can't see how.


Chorus:
C C Bm Bm
We're too old

Am Am D D
We're not old, old at all

C C Bm Bm
Just too old


We're not old, old at all


Verse 2:

G G Bm Bm
There's a bear inside your stomach

C C G G F# F#
The cub's been kicking you for weeks

Em Em Am Am
And if this isn't all a dream

C C D D
Well then we'll cut him from beneath

G G Bm Bm
Well we're not scared of making caves

C C G G F# F#
Or finding food for him to eat

Em Em Am Am
We're terrified of one another

C C D D
And terrified of what that means

G G Bm Bm
But we'll make only quick decisions

C C G G F# F#
And you'll just keep my in the waiting room

Em Em Am Am
And all the while I'll know we're fucked

C C D D
And not getting unfucked soon

G G Bm Bm
When we get home we're bigger strangers

C C G G F# F#
than we've ever been before

Em Em Am Am C C D D
You sit in front of snowy television, suitcase on the floor


Chorus:

C C Bm Bm
We're too old

Am Am D D
We're not old at all.

C C Bm Bm
Just too old

Am Am D D
We're not old at all.

About this song: Bear

The whole piece is a mesh of intriguing hooks. Starts out with music box sounds and quiet lyrics that seem to be about being on a failing performance circuit then kicks up to a fast new wave garage sound A fast but somber mood describes the feeling out of place and alienated from within. Similar to Aztec Camera, early REM.
