Verse 
    G                     C 
Why is it that as we grow older and stronger 
    G                  C 
The road signs point us adrift and make us afraid 
            Am                          Em 
Saying You never can win Watch your back Where's your husband 
     Am             Em           C       D 
Oh I don't like the signs that the signmakers made 

       G                          C 
So I'm going to steal out with my paint and brushes 
     G                         C 
I'll change the directions I'll hit every street 
         Am                      Em 
It's the Tinseltown scandal the Robin Hood vandal 
    Am           Em              C 
She goes out and steals the King's English 
           D 
And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you 
They say 
 G                            C 
I'm so glad that you finally made it here 
             G                   C 
You thought nobody cared but I did I could tell 
     G                         C 
And This is your year and It always starts here 
       Am      Em     C      D      G    C    G    C 
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh You're aging well 

     G                        C 
Well I know a woman with a collection of sticks 
          G                          C 
She could fight back the hundreds of voices she heard 
              Am                           Em 
And she could poke at the greed she could fend off her need 
         Am        Em               C              D 
And with anger she found she could pound every word 
    G                                 C 
But one voice got through caught her up by surprise 
          G                            C 
It said Don't hold us back we're the story you tell 
       Am                    Em 
And no sooner than spoken a spell had been broken 
        Am       Em            C 
And the voices before her were trumpets and tympani 
D 
Violins basses and woodwinds and cellos singing 

 G                              C 
We're so glad that you finally made it here 
            G                    C 
You thought nobody cared but we did we could tell 
               G                               C 
And now you'll dance through the days while the orchestra plays 
          Am    Em       C       D     G 
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh you're aging well 

C G C Am Em Am Em C D 

         G                   C 
Now when I was fifteen oh I knew it was over 
    G                       C 
The road to enchantment was not mine to take 
            Am                        Em 
Cause lower calf upper arm should be half what they are 
      Am           Em            C          D 
I was breaking the laws that the signmakers made 

    G                       C 
And all I could eat was the poisonous apple 
    G                        C 
And that's not a story I was meant to survive 
      Am                          Em 
I was all out of choices but the woman of voices 
    Am               Em          C 
She turned round the corner with music around her 
    D 
She gave me the language that keeps me alive she said 

 G                            C 
I'm so glad that you finally made it here 
         G                         C 
With the things you know now that only time could tell 
        G                         C 
Looking back seeing far landing right where we are 
          Am   Em       C        D         Am   Em       C         D 
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh you're aging oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh and I am aging 
   Am   Em        C          D     G      C      G 
oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh aren't we aging well
