Tom: Ab [Intro] G G Looking back on this life Am7 It's hard to understand D7 How time just seems to fly C G When you are an older man G Whatever happened to all those dreams I had Am7 And all those crazy plans D7 I never really got the chance to do C G They just slipped right through my hands Am7 Through my hands D7 G Through my hands G Looking back on all I've learned Am7 I still find it hard to tell D7 If there really is a heaven C G Or if there really is a hell G It's an age old conversation Am7 That's been had since dawn began D7 But you just seem to spend more time on it when C G You're an older man Am7 An older man D7 G An older man C D And this could be the last song G Em C My final swan song D G Before the curtain call C D I hope I played my part well G Em C For I know so well D G There's no encores ( G ) G I often wonder what it is Am7 That we are all craving for D7 Some kind of justification C G Now our time is getting short G Is it intelligence or arrogance Am7 That makes us say there must be more D7 We can't accept this could be it C G And it leaves us so unsure Am7 So unsure D7 G So unsure G They say that wisdom comes with age Am7 But that's not always the case D7 And you'd be a fool to judge a wise man C G Just by the lines upon his face G I know i've done some stupid things Am7 Some things I can't forget D7 And no time left to try to put them right C G Is the one thing I regret Am7 I regret D7 G I regret C D And this could be the last song G Em C My final swan song D G Before the curtain call C D I hope I played my part well G Em C For I know so well D G Here's no encores ( G ) C D And this could be the last song G Em C My final swan song D G Before the curtain call C D I hope I played my part well G Em C For I know so well D G There's no encores [Final] G
