INTRO:
D, Dsus2, D, Dsus2 x4
(One, Two, One, Two, three, Four)
---------------------------
VERSE 1:
GWell (320003@1)I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old.
DAll (xx0232@1)the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold.
A (x02220@1) GAll (320003@1)the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand.
D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) DAll (xx0232@1)my friends are getting married. Mortgages and pension plans.
GAnd (320003@1)it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done.
DAnd (xx0232@1)I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become.
A (x02220@1) GBut (320003@1)that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game-
A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) (let chord ring)
Time may change a lot. But some things they stay the same.
---------------------------
CHORUS:
**(You could either sit this out as in the studio version the guitar
stops playing, or you could play either the chords shown here or the
bass line which is how i play it.)**

---------------------------
VERSE 2:
GOh, (320003@1)Maturity's a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems.
DDitching (xx0232@1)teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams.
A (x02220@1) GAll (320003@1)your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) Dhave (xx0232@1)to grow up, be an adult. Yeah, be bored and unfulfilled.
GBut (320003@1)no one's yet explained to me exactly what's so great
Dabout (xx0232@1)slaving 50 years away on something that you hate.
A (x02220@1) GAbout (320003@1)meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity.
A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) (Let chord ring)
Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me.
