Intro: Am7 D7
Strophe:
B7 Em*
Since I've known you we've always been together
B G7
And in that time the love we shared - we vowed would last forever
C Ebm7*
Yet marriage is a subject you approve
D* E*
providing it has nothing whatsoever to do with you
Am Bm
And much as I respect that view - i have to state my case
C Bm
Though I'm far from being over-the-hill
F C7 C7 D7
It occurs to me with each pas-sing day
Refrain:
Am D Bm Em Am Cm G G7
That I'm not getting any younger - God knows it wasn't my idea
C7 B7 Em7 Am*
The years that used to take - An eternity to make
G Cm* F C C G
Are now passing at what seems - like one a week.
Strophe:
B7 Em*
If only we'd have met when I was your age
B G7
I wouldn't have this awful fear - I get when I leave your place
C Ebm7*
You don't know how upsetting it can be
D* E*
To hear you talk of future plans - None of which seem to include me
Am
Blue jeans and high heel boots are great course
Bm
I still wear mine quite a bit
C Bm
But it's now more apparent than ever before
F C7 C7 D7
Despite keeping myself fair-ly fit
Refrain:
Am D Bm Em
That I'm not getting any younger
Am Cm G G7
Even those grey hairs are now starting to appear
C7 B7
And there are lines under my eyes
Em7 Am*
That never used to be this size
G Cm* B Em
Even though it could be due - to lack of sleep
Am D Bb C C C G
Something tells me that it's more to do with passing years.
F C C G
Strophe:
B7 Em*
At times I think perhaps it would be better
B G7
If rather than go on this way posted you a letter
C Ebm7*
Explaining in great detail why I feel
D* E*
The way things are between us - Suits you much more than it suits me
Am Bm
You have you whole life ahead of you - Well damn it I also have mine
C Bm
And unless I am by nature a freak -
F C7 C7 D7
There's no mistaking those dead-ly signs
Refrain:
Am D Bm Em Am Cm G G7
And I'm not getting any younger - Look closely now and you will see
C7 B7 Em7 Am*
The rebel in his teens - Who thought all adults were obscene
G Cm* B Em
Is now somewhat disenchanted with the news
Am D C D E F#
That kids today have got no respect for his views
Refrain:
G#m C# Bbm Ebm
And I'm not getting any younger
G#m Bm F# F#7
Gone are those days when school reports were all I feared
B7 Bb7 Ebm7 G#m
Now for the first time in my life I'm seeing something I don't like
F# Bm* Bb Ebm
And am powerless to prevent from happening
G#m C# F C C G
One day you'll find out for yourself just what I mean.
