🎸 Intro: 

C   Fm   C
C   Fm   C



🎸 Verse:
       C             Em  
As an old man I'm a young man
             F                C 
'Cause I've not been old for long
       Am                   G 
And before these trembling waters settle
 F                   C 
I'll have flown the pond
      Em                Am  
So I don't mean to be morbid
      G               C  
Or a bit too on the nose
         F       Em           Dm  
But I'd like to share a few things
Em    G                 C 
That I've learned along the road
🎸 Interlude: 
C   Fm   C
          

🎸 Verse:
              C            Em  
What you'll find chasing dreams
        F             C   
Is the finish line recedes
          Am            G 
And the riddle stays a riddle
        F              C  
Oh the humor's bittersweet
     Em             Am  
All nature does is dance
              G                C  
So when you dance you're in accord
         Dm      Em        F 
Look no further than the feeling
D/F#     G       E/G#    Am 
That it gives you for reward

🎸 Chorus: 
 G  F    
Reward
 G  C 
Reward
Em  F  G
Reward  
G#  
Simple things
Gm   G7   C 
Hard to learn
G#  
Fire is hot
Gm     G7    C 
Burn, burn, burn
G#      Gm  
Simple truth
G7       C 
Hard to see
     G#  
Not what you want
     Gm  G7    C  
But what you need

C   Fm   C
          

🎸 Verse:
               C             Em  
I've been a sleepwalker, a cheap talker
   F            C  
A sly grin, a discreet offer
 Am               G  
I've held steady for a gaze
      F             C  
I've led a lover through a maze
         Em            Am 
Thrown bottles at the wall
         G              C 
When someone forgot to call
           F       Em       Dm   Em        G  C
I've done all the things a wild heart will do    
Fm      C 
I will do
             C             Em  
What you'll find chasing dreams
        F             C 
Is the finish line recedes
         Am             G  
And the riddle stays a riddle
        F              C 
Oh the humor's bittersweet
Em             Am  
All nature does is dance
              G                C 
So when you dance you're in accord
         Dm      Em        F 
Look no further than the feeling
D/F#     G       E/G#    Am 
That it gives you for reward
