Intro: Am7Am7 D7D7


Strophe:
   B7B7                  Em*
Since I've known you we've always been together
   BB                 G7G7
And in that time the love we shared - we vowed would last forever
   C majorC              Ebm7*
Yet marriage is a subject you approve
 D*                E*
providing it has nothing whatsoever to do with you
      A minorAm               B minorBm
And much as I respect that view - i have to state my case
      C majorC        B minorBm
Though I'm far from being over-the-hill
   FF          C7C7 C7  D7D7
It occurs to me with each pas-sing day

Refrain:
   A minorAm     D MajorD    B minorBm  E minorEm   A minorAm      C minorCm     G+G  G7G7
That I'm not getting any younger - God knows it wasn't my idea
    C7C7  B7B7              E minor 7Em7   Am*
The years that used to take - An eternity to make
   G+G          Cm*          FF   C majorC  C majorC  G+G
Are now passing at what seems  -  like one a week.


Strophe:
   B7B7             Em*
If only we'd have met when I was your age
   BB               G7G7
I wouldn't have this awful fear - I get when I leave your place
   C majorC              Ebm7*
You don't know how upsetting it can be
  D*                       E*
To hear you talk of future plans - None of which seem to include me
        A minorAm
Blue jeans and high heel boots are great course
 B minorBm
I still wear mine quite a bit
     C majorC           B minorBm
But it's now more apparent than ever before
   FF         C7C7 C7 D7D7
Despite keeping myself fair-ly fit

Refrain:
   A minorAm     D MajorD    B minorBm  E minorEm
That I'm not getting any younger
      A minorAm         C minorCm      G+G  G7G7
Even those grey hairs are now starting to appear
        C7C7      B7B7
And there are lines under my eyes
      E minor 7Em7       Am*
That never used to be this size
   G+G          Cm*       BB    E minorEm
Even though it could be due     - to lack of sleep
      A minorAm        D MajorD            Bb majorBb C majorC C majorC C majorC G+G
Something tells me that it's more to do with passing years.

Strophe:
   B7B7                  Em*
At times I think perhaps it would be better
   BB                 G7G7
If rather than go on this way posted you a letter
   C majorC              Ebm7*
Explaining in great detail why I feel
D*                       E*
The way things are between us - Suits you much more than it suits me
      A minorAm               B minorBm
You have you whole life ahead of you - Well damn it I also have mine
     C majorC           B minorBm
And unless I am by nature a freak -
    FF         C7C7  C7C7 D7D7
There's no mistaking those dead-ly signs


Refrain:
   A minorAm     D MajorD    B minorBm  E minorEm   A minorAm      C minorCm     G+G  G7G7
And I'm not getting any younger - Look closely now and you will see
    C7C7  B7B7             E minor 7Em7    Am*
The rebel in his teens - Who thought all adults were obscene
   G+G          Cm*        BB    E minorEm
Is now somewhat disenchanted with the news
      A minorAm        D MajorD        C majorC D MajorD  E MajorE F#F#
That kids today have got no respect for his views


Refrain:
   G# minorG#m     C#C#   BbmBbm EbmEbm
And I'm not getting any younger
         G# minorG#m       B minorBm        F#F#   F#7F#7
Gone are those days when school reports were all I feared
   B7B7   Bb7Bb7               EbM7Ebm7      G# minorG#m
Now for the first time in my life I'm seeing something I don't like
  F#F#         Bm*       Bb majorBb   EbmEbm
And am powerless to prevent from happening
     G# minorG#m        C#C#          FF  C majorC  C majorC  G+G
One day you'll find out for yourself just what I mean.
