🎸 Verse 1:
   F                   C             Am
We swore that we would stand alone together
      G                  Dm
And I hate to make you a liar
      C               Am        G
But I saw this coming all along

F              C              Am
I fear there's nowhere we can go from here
G                    Dm
Hard to believe that sometimes
     C                   G
What feels right is wrong

🎸 Bridge 1:
    F                C
You say it's tearing you to bits
    Am                  G
But you don't know the half of it
    Dm             c            Am   G
I'm crumbling like paper in the rain

🎸 Chorus:
F               C
I don't want to leave you
        Am              G
But the wind is howling loud
    Dm              C               Am   G
And flowers die off in this kind of cold
F                C
I don't want to leave you
           Am                  G
But what I want hardly matters now
    Dm             C
I'd ask one favour of you
             Am  G
Please grow old

🎸 Instrumental:
F C Am G
Dm C Am G

🎸 Verse 2:
F              C                  Am
It's a welcome change for once to have
G
Someone to rely on
Dm       C                  Am            G
At least until it all comes tumbling down

🎸 Bridge 2:
     F               C
You don't understand all the fuss
            Am                 G
But there's bigger things than both of us
   Dm                  C
If all this leaves you breathless
         Am              G
Then I'd rather you keep breathing

    F                C
You say it's tearing you in two
    Am                   G
But you should know this tears me too
    Dm           C              Am     G
I'm burning like dry fields set alight

     F                 C
Your reckless days and sleepless nights
  Am                   G
I watched them as your satellite
   Dm                 C
We danced around each other like
    Am             G
Nothing could come between

    F                C
The only part I've come to hate
   Am           G
It came with an expiry date
    Dm                C
The things we want forever
         Am       G
Couldn't last the century

F*              C*
I don't want to leave you
             Am*              G*
Why can't I just stay in your arms?
Dm*           C*
Just a moment longer
           Am*   G*
What's the harm?

F               C
I don't want to leave you
           Am                  G
But what I want hardly matters now
    Dm             C
I'd ask one favour of you
           Am             G
So if it's at all in your power
            F  C Am G
Please grow old
            Dm C Am G
Please grow old

🎸 Outro:
F               C
I don't want to leave you
           Am                  G
But what I want hardly matters now
    Dm             C     Am G
I'd ask one favour of you
