[Verse 1]
G
The old man says how you doin’
C                            G
The young man says I’m doin’ fine
                                                  C
Old man says when you've lived as long as I have
                      D
you can always spot a lie


[Verse 2]
              C
The Young man says it's my father,
                         G
He aint been feelin’ too well

The old man says, “I've got an ear,
D                        G
if you've got a story to tell”


[Chorus]
C                               D
The young man says it a feeling sad and strange
C            G
to introduce yourself
         C                           D
over and over to the man who made me what I am today
          C                D       G
like some kind of sick and twisted hell
         C(Hold)          G(Hold)
Oh, I've shook his hand a thousand times
     c(Hold) D(Hold)  G(Hold)
I’ll shake a thousand more,
                C(Hold)    D(Hold) G(Finger)
but he’ll still ask have I met you before


[Verse 3]
G
The old man says I know the feeling.
C                          G
The same thing happened to mine
                                 C
The young man says I remember,
                   D
Wasn't it back in ‘89?


[Verse 4]
            C
The old man says, "How’d you know that?"
                     G
The young man says, “Lucky guess.”

The old man asks, “Have we met before?”
D                    G
The young man says, “Yes”


[Chorus]
C                  D
Cuz its a feelin’, sad and strange
C            G
to introduce yourself
         C                           D
over and over to the man who made me what I am today
          C                D       G
like some kind of sick and twisted hell
         C(Hold)          G(Hold)
Oh, I've shook his hand a thousand times
     c(Hold) D(Hold)  G(Hold)
I’ll shake a thousand more,
                C(Hold)    D(Hold) G(Finger)
but he’ll still ask have I met you before
