     A5                         E5
I re-read silly lines That made sense at the time
Bb5
Pages all stained with tears and red wine
      A5                           E5
And I walk through the airport and see magazines
      Bb5
Every face that I see So much younger than me
      A5                    E5
And I smile to myself how I don't even miss
   Bb5
My glorious past or the lips that I've kissed
      A5                       E5
And I think to myself that how easy this is
Bb5
Easy to breathe, easy to live
C5                  Bb5             A5
And I wonder why I tear myself in two
     C5          Bb5                      A5
Over how to be, what to say and what to do
      C5                 Bb5
And I know you liked me better then
      A5
And I know you liked me
D5                   A5     E5
better when I was a fool
           Bb5
...I was a fool
   A5    E5
...mm
           Bb5
...I was a fool
   A5    E5
...mm

A5 E5 Bb5
So I live in these days
But I still have my old ways
'cause the future,
somehow, has yet to arrive
And I see all around me the women on time
Kids and divorces and crisis in midlife
and do I surrender and give up my dream
for a brick in the wall and
a washing machine
grow up and get real
for a kid in their teens
who won't care what I've done
where I've been, what I've seen

C5  Bb5  A5
And I wonder why I tear myself in two
over who to be, how to be and what to do
and I know you liked me better then
and I know you liked me
D5                   A5    E5
better when I was a fool
             Bb5
...I...was a fool
           A5    E5
...I was a fool
           Bb5
...I was a fool

A5 E5 Bb5
I'm free to a fault
I'm 45
I'm playing guitar
I'm living my life
Fly down the highway
Sun on my face
I belong to nobody
I belong to no place
