E We are young we have Years ahead maybe We might fall in love F#m Or fall apart E Fall apart F#m Before it ends well we E Should try to start
Asus2 So I’ll go B7 E But I’m telling you I don’t Asus2 Want to go Asus2 B7 I could be stuck here and happy
E There’s a puzzle I Work on endlessly And I’ve got all the sides and all the corners F#m But there’s a space E Oh there’s a space F#m Lost some pieces I E Can’t replace
Asus2 So I’ll be B7 E But I’m telling you I don’t Asus2 Want to be Asus2 B7 Just a wasted puzzle piece
E We are old and our son Took the dog away And fair enough guess we’re F#m Tired all the time E All the time F#m And you know dogs they need E Ample time outside
Asus2 So I’ll stay B7 E But I’m telling you I don’t Asus2 Want to stay
Asus2 B7 So I’ll brace myself against the wall E Asus2 And hope to God that I don’t fall Asus2 B7 My bones are worn my hip won’t hold E I used to be so young Asus2 (start strumming the next chord) How did I get so old? Asus2 B7 Won’t you take my cane and hold my hand E Asus2 You’re holding on to all I have Asus2 B7 Just a basket full of memories E Asus2 And I am losing more each day it seems Asus2 B7 But if I can make it to the street E I’ll steal a car or a bike Asus2 Whatever there is to steal Asus2 B7 And it might get cold I just don’t care E Asus2 I’m going till I’m getting there Asus2 B7 I’ll ride my steed all through this town Till I......... E Have looked Asus2 Till I have found Asus2 B7 Your peaceful memory Asus2 B7 Won’t you return to me Asus2 B7 Won’t you return to me
