Intro
Am  Em   Bb

      Am                            Em                   
I re-read silly lines That made sense at the time

 Bb                                           
Pages all stained with tears and red wine

       Am                              Em               
And I walk through the airport and see magazines

       Bb                                         
Every face that I see So much younger than me

       Am                       Em                 
And I smile to myself how I don't even miss

    Bb                                            
My glorious past or the lips that I've kissed

       Am                          Em              
And I think to myself that how easy this is

Bb                               
Easy to breathe, easy to live

 C                    Bb                Am     
And I wonder why I tear myself in two

      C            Bb                         Am    
Over how to be, what to say and what to do

       C                   Bb             
And I know you liked me better then

       Am                   
And I know you liked me

 D                     Am        Em    
Better when I was a fool     

            Bb      
...I was a fool

    Am       Em    
...mm      

            Bb      
...I was a fool

    Am       Em    
...mm      


 Am    Em    Bb                   
So I live in these days

But I still have my old ways
'cause the future,
somehow, has yet to arrive
And I see all around me the women on time
Kids and divorces and crisis in midlife
and do I surrender and give up my dream
for a brick in the wall and
a washing machine
grow up and get real
for a kid in their teens
who won't care what I've done
where I've been, what I've seen

 C    Bb     Am                                
And I wonder why I tear myself in two

over who to be, how to be and what to do
and I know you liked me better then
and I know you liked me
 D                     Am       Em    
Better when I was a fool    

              Bb      
...I...was a fool

            Am       Em    
...I was a fool    

            Bb      
...I was a fool


 Am    Em    Bb               
I'm free to a fault

I'm 45
I'm playing guitar
I'm living my life
Fly down the highway
Sun on my face
I belong to nobody
I belong to no place
