C7C7    G minorGm             FF   C majorC
The strange logic of your clumsiest line
C7C7    G minorGm         FF C majorC
It stayed emblazoned on my mind
    Bb majorBb      G minorGm
You say break up the family
    Bb majorBb      G minorGm
And let's begin to live our lives

  C majorC    FF         C majorC    C7C7
I want to see all my friends tonight
  G minorGm
It wasn't youth, it wasn't life
   FF      C majorC     C7C7
Born old, sadly wise
    G minorGm
Resigned (well, we were)
   FF     C majorC
To ending our lives

   Bb majorBb      G minorGm
I'm so glad to grow older
 Bb majorBb          G minorGm
To move away from those awful times
C majorC       FF        C majorC   C7C7
I want to see all my friends tonight
 G minorGm
Yes you found love but you weren't
   FF        C majorC   C7C7
At peace with your life
    G minorGm
Home late, full of hate
     FF       C majorC
Despise the ties that bind

   Bb majorBb       G minorGm
oh I'm so glad to grow older
   Bb majorBb         G minorGm
To move away from those younger years
 C majorC        FF
I'm in love for the first time
    C majorC       C7C7
And I don't feel bad

Bb majorBb         G minorGm   FF
Let me see all my old friends
Bb majorBb         G minorGm   FF
Let me put my arm around them
C majorC           FF
Because I really do love them
      C majorC       C7C7
Now, does that sound mad?

       G minorGm
Captain of games, solid framed
   FF        C majorC   C7C7
I stood on the touchline
     G minorGm
Hailstones, driven home
        FF      C majorC
In his car-no brakes? I don't mind

  Bb majorBb          G minorGm
I'm just so glad to grow older
  Bb majorBb          G minorGm
To move away from those darker years
 C majorC          FF
I'm in love for the first time
     C majorC      C7C7
And I don't feel bad
        FF
So wish me luck my friends
  C majorC
Goodbye
