Verse:
A5                    F#5            D5                A5
When we were younger time was under careful lock and key.
A5              F#5                D5            A5
Now it's open, tipped and pourin' out all over me. 
   F#5        C#5               B5                       F#5               C#5           B5
Oh what a shame! that our days, you exclaimed, I thought you had meant they were long.
     F#5          C#5             B5        F#5        C#5    A5
Not 'till the night when I turned 25, I saw that I had it all wrong.

(Between the two verses you can play half the intro or just keep playing an A chord)

Verse:
A5             F#5              D5            A5
I was gettin' tired of lettin' all my hours pass.
A5              F#5              D5                A5
Hopin' someday soon or some way everything would last.
   F#5        C#5            B5                    F#5        C#5         B5
Oh What a shame! When I look at your frame, I know someday it will be dust.
    F#5            C#5               B5                    F#5             C#5      A5
Not that I thought it's that close, 'cause it's not, but I guess it's just creepin' up.

(Between the verse and chorus you can play the full intro or A chords)

Chorus:
A5                    D5   A5                         E5
Oh and it's not that bad, it's all this time we've had.
C#5                  D5               A5                    E5
Things that could be, became history. We'll never know instead.
A5                    D5    A5                    E5
Oh we're not too far gone. It hasn't been that long.
C#5               D5
Oh and our tea cup is getting filled up.
A5                      E5             A(x4)
So we'll never have to dread getting old.
