       G5
Well i guess i should confess that i am starting to get old.
        D5
All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold.
        A5                                 G5
All the kids are talking slang i won?t pretend to understand.
       D5                                  A5               D5
All my friends are getting married. mortgages and pension plans.
         G5
And it?s obvious my angry adolescent days are done.
        D5
And i?m happy and i?m settled in the person i?ve become.
         A5                               G5
But that doesn?t mean i?m settled up and sitting out the game-
A5                               D5                    (deixe tocar)
Time may change a lot. but some things they stay the same.

      G5
Oh  maturity?s a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems.
D5
Ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams.
         A5                               G5
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
        D5              A5               D5
Have to grow up  be an adult. yeah  be bored and unfulfilled.
    G5
But no one?s yet explained to me exactly what?s so great
      D5
About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate.
      A5                                 G5
About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity.
        A5                                      D5     (deixe tocar)
Well if that?s your road then take it but it?s not the road for me.

And if all you ever do with your life is just photosynthesise 
              G5
Then you?ll deserve every hour of your sleepless nights
         E5               A5                 D5
That you waste wondering when you?re gonna die.
