So you wake up thirty-five

With a child and a bride

In time, I know, you've seen it all before

But not on you, no, no, no
                         D
No, I don't believe it's true

Chorus:
               Bm              A         G
You say, "I've lived enough of famous nights
          A
All by my lone"
                    G
And I would like to be the dark
                      A
And I would want her, too

Oh, baby, maybe

So don't tell me, I'll tell you

       G
Oh the world ain't free

No, the world ain't free
       D
But it always pays to fake a smile

Yeah worry late or worry no (no)

Throw it under the bed and never look

Once in a while
                       G

To the bottom of my glass

 It's not far
      Bm        D        A
Yeah, don't you see that I

Have nothing better to do

Fade out on Bm A G
