Verse:
G+G C majorC
Why is it that as we grow older and stronger
G+G C majorC
The road signs point us adrift and make us afraid
A minorAm E minorEm
Saying You never can win Watch your back Where's your husband
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Oh I don't like the signs that the signmakers made
G+G C majorC
So I'm going to steal out with my paint and brushes
G+G C majorC
I'll change the directions I'll hit every street
A minorAm E minorEm
It's the Tinseltown scandal the Robin Hood vandal
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
She goes out and steals the King's English
D MajorD
And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you
They say
G+G C majorC
I'm so glad that you finally made it here
G+G C majorC
You thought nobody cared but I did I could tell
G+G C majorC
And This is your year and It always starts here
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh You're aging well
G+G C majorC
Well I know a woman with a collection of sticks
G+G C majorC
She could fight back the hundreds of voices she heard
A minorAm E minorEm
And she could poke at the greed she could fend off her need
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
And with anger she found she could pound every word
G+G C majorC
But one voice got through caught her up by surprise
G+G C majorC
It said Don't hold us back we're the story you tell
A minorAm E minorEm
And no sooner than spoken a spell had been broken
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
And the voices before her were trumpets and tympani
D MajorD
Violins basses and woodwinds and cellos singing
G+G C majorC
We're so glad that you finally made it here
G+G C majorC
You thought nobody cared but we did we could tell
G+G C majorC
And now you'll dance through the days while the orchestra plays
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh you're aging well
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
G+G C majorC
Now when I was fifteen oh I knew it was over
G+G C majorC
The road to enchantment was not mine to take
A minorAm E minorEm
Cause lower calf upper arm should be half what they are
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
I was breaking the laws that the signmakers made
G+G C majorC
And all I could eat was the poisonous apple
G+G C majorC
And that's not a story I was meant to survive
A minorAm E minorEm
I was all out of choices but the woman of voices
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
She turned round the corner with music around her
D MajorD
She gave me the language that keeps me alive she said
G+G C majorC
I'm so glad that you finally made it here
G+G C majorC
With the things you know now that only time could tell
G+G C majorC
Looking back seeing far landing right where we are
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh you're aging oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh and I am aging
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh aren't we aging well
