Key: D

Intro:

D G D G



Verse 1:
D
  And so I find myself
Bm
  In the ancient grove
D
  Tall tree withered branches
Bm
  So many seasons flown
D

  See the bitter winter shiver
Bm
  For a warmer world
D
  But the summer sun
G
  Ain't worth its weight in gold

Chorus:
D               A    G           D
I don't need no fast life on the road
               A         G            Bm
I just want to savour my time getting old
   A       D
If I don't need it
F#m         G
I'll let it go
Em              G
  And I want to admire
                   D     G
How the new flowers grow
                   D     G
How the new flowers grow

Verse 2:
D
  All life is happenstance
Bm
  That we jeopardise
D
  To shoot for a chance at
Bm
  Some earthly paradise
D
  Years frittered embittered waiting
Bm
  For a kingdom come
D
  You can waste a life
G
  But it never comes

Chorus:
D                  A    G           D
So I don't need no fast life on the road
               A         G            Bm
I just want to savour my time getting old
   A       D
If I don't need it
F#m         G
I'll let it go
Em              G
  And I want to admire
              G
So I stop and admire

Post-Chorus:
Bm
Lost to the wind
        A                  Em
Are the wasted hours we've known
   G     A    Bm
So carve your name on a rock
A                   Em    G
Etch it deep in the stone
Bm           A         Em         G
  Oh what on earth you waiting for?
     Em
When this moment now
   A
Is evermore

A

I just want to savour my time getting old

F#m         G
I'll let it go
Em              G
