Intro: Am7 D7


Strophe:
   B7                  Em*
Since I've known you we've always been together
   B                 G7
And in that time the love we shared - we vowed would last forever
   C              Ebm7*
Yet marriage is a subject you approve
 D*                E*
providing it has nothing whatsoever to do with you
      Am               Bm
And much as I respect that view - i have to state my case
      C        Bm
Though I'm far from being over-the-hill
   F          C7 C7  D7
It occurs to me with each pas-sing day

Refrain:
   Am     D    Bm  Em   Am      Cm     G  G7
That I'm not getting any younger - God knows it wasn't my idea
    C7  B7              Em7   Am*
The years that used to take - An eternity to make
   G          Cm*          F   C  C  G
Are now passing at what seems  -  like one a week.


Strophe:
   B7             Em*
If only we'd have met when I was your age
   B               G7
I wouldn't have this awful fear - I get when I leave your place
   C              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
        Am
Blue jeans and high heel boots are great course
 Bm
I still wear mine quite a bit
     C           Bm
But it's now more apparent than ever before
   F         C7 C7 D7
Despite keeping myself fair-ly fit

Refrain:
   Am     D    Bm  Em
That I'm not getting any younger
      Am         Cm      G  G7
Even those grey hairs are now starting to appear
        C7      B7
And there are lines under my eyes
      Em7       Am*
That never used to be this size
   G          Cm*       B    Em
Even though it could be due     - to lack of sleep
      Am        D            Bb C C C G
Something tells me that it's more to do with passing years.

F C C G


Strophe:
   B7                  Em*
At times I think perhaps it would be better
   B                 G7
If rather than go on this way posted you a letter
   C              Ebm7*
Explaining in great detail why I feel
D*                       E*
The way things are between us - Suits you much more than it suits me
      Am               Bm
You have you whole life ahead of you - Well damn it I also have mine
     C           Bm
And unless I am by nature a freak -
    F         C7  C7 D7
There's no mistaking those dead-ly signs


Refrain:
   Am     D    Bm  Em   Am      Cm     G  G7
And I'm not getting any younger - Look closely now and you will see
    C7  B7             Em7    Am*
The rebel in his teens - Who thought all adults were obscene
   G          Cm*        B    Em
Is now somewhat disenchanted with the news
      Am        D        C D  E F#
That kids today have got no respect for his views


Refrain:
   G#m     C#   Bbm Ebm
And I'm not getting any younger
         G#m       Bm        F#   F#7
Gone are those days when school reports were all I feared
   B7   Bb7               Ebm7      G#m
Now for the first time in my life I'm seeing something I don't like
  F#         Bm*       Bb   Ebm
And am powerless to prevent from happening
     G#m        C#          F  C  C  G
One day you'll find out for yourself just what I mean.
