[Verse 2]
Everybody knows that as we all get older
The will is first to go and so upon my shoulder
The bluebird shall not sing again.

[Instrumental]
G, D, Em7, Cadd9, Em7, Cadd9, D

[Verse 3]
Everybody knows that as our hair gets greyer
We strike a bended pose and say a little prayer
To never feel this way again.

[Verse 4]
Everybody knows it's never getting better
Everything must go and you will have to let her
And never see her face again.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Everybody's youth is only what they make it
Longer in the tooth, so why do people fake it?
We'll never get it back again.

[Instrumental]

G (320003@1)              Em7
