Intro:
G+G
Verse 1:
G+G
We're looking back on my life
Am7Am7
It’s hard to understand
D7/F#D7/F#
How time just seems to fly
C majorC G+G
When you're an older man
G+G
Whatever happened to all those dreams I had
Am7Am7
And all those crazy plans
D7/F#D7/F#
I never really got the chance to do
C majorC G+G
They just slipped right through my hands
Am7Am7 D7/F#D7/F# G+G
Through my hands, through my hands
Verse 2:
G+G
And looking back on all I've learned
Am7Am7
I’m findin' it hard to tell
D7/F#D7/F#
If there really is a heaven
C majorC G+G
Or if there really is a hell
G+G
It's an age old conversation
Am7Am7
That's been had since dawn began
D7/F#D7/F# C majorC
But you just seem to spend more time on it now
G+G
You're an older man
Am7Am7 D7/F#D7/F# G+G
An older man, an oldеr man
Chorus:
C majorC D MajorD
And this could be the last song
G+G G/F# E minorEm C majorC
My final swan song
D MajorD G+G
Before the curtain call
C majorC D MajorD
I hope I played my part well
G+G G/F# E minorEm C majorC
For I know so well
D MajorD G+G
There's no encore
Verse 3:
G+G
I often wonder what it is
Am7Am7
That we are all craving for
D7/F#D7/F#
Some kind of justification
C majorC G+G
Now time is getting short
G+G
Is it intelligence or arrogance
Am7Am7
That makes us say there must be more
D7/F#D7/F#
We can't accept that
This could be it
C majorC G+G Am7Am7 D7/F#D7/F# G+G
And it leaves us so unsure, so unsure, so unsure
Verse 4:
G+G
They say that wisdom comes with age
Am7Am7
But that's not always the case
D7/F#D7/F#
And you’d be a fool to judge a wise man
C majorC G+G
By the lines upon his face
G+G
I know I’ve done some stupid things
Am7Am7
And some things I can't forget
D7/F#D7/F#
And no time left to try to put them right
C majorC G+G Am7Am7 D7/F#D7/F# G+G
Is the one thing I regret, I regret, I regret

There's no encore
C majorC D MajorD
And this could be the last song
G+G G/F# E minorEm C majorC
My final swan song
D MajorD G+G
Before the curtain call
C majorC D MajorD
And I hope I played my part well
G+G G/F# E minorEm C majorC
For I know so well
D MajorD G+G
There's no encores
