Young at heart but it's getting much too late

I don't know how you're s'posed

To find me lately

When I find out all the reasons

With all the changing seasons of my life

Maybe I'll get it right next time
                        E
An now that you've been broken down
                    D
Got your head out of the clouds
                 A
You're back down on the ground
              E
And you don't talk so loud

Well I jumped into the river too many times

to make it home

I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
              D            A
If it doesn't show give it time

To read between the lines

Outro:
F#m               E             D      E F#m
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
F#m      E                 D     E F#m
And the waves they get so high
F#m    E                D            E F#m
Seems everything We've ever known's here
F#m          E              D
Why must it drift away and die
