E
We are young we have
Years ahead maybe
We might fall in love
F#m
Or fall apart
E
Fall apart
F#m
Before it ends well we
E
Should try to start
Chorus
Asus2
So I’ll go
B7 E
But I’m telling you I don’t
Asus2
Want to go
Asus2 B7
I could be stuck here and happy
E
There’s a puzzle I
Work on endlessly
And I’ve got all the sides and all the corners
F#m
But there’s a space
E
Oh there’s a space
F#m
Lost some pieces I
E
Can’t replace
Asus2
So I’ll be
B7 E
But I’m telling you I don’t
Asus2
Want to be
Asus2 B7
Just a wasted puzzle piece
E
We are old and our son
Took the dog away
And fair enough guess we’re
F#m
Tired all the time
E
All the time
F#m
And you know dogs they need
E
Ample time outside
Asus2
So I’ll stay
B7 E
But I’m telling you I don’t
Asus2
Want to stay
Asus2 B7
So I’ll brace myself against the wall
E Asus2
And hope to God that I don’t fall
Asus2 B7
My bones are worn my hip won’t hold
E
I used to be so young
Asus2 (start strumming the next chord)
How did I get so old?
Asus2 B7
Won’t you take my cane and hold my hand
E Asus2
You’re holding on to all I have
Asus2 B7
Just a basket full of memories
E Asus2
And I am losing more each day it seems
Asus2 B7
But if I can make it to the street
E
I’ll steal a car or a bike
Asus2
Whatever there is to steal
Asus2 B7
And it might get cold I just don’t care
E Asus2
I’m going till I’m getting there
Asus2 B7
I’ll ride my steed all through this town
Till I.........
E
Have looked
Asus2
Till I have found
Asus2 B7
Your peaceful memory
Asus2 B7
Won’t you return to me
Asus2 B7
Won’t you return to me
