Tom: A

A A E A

[Verse 1]
A                           D            A
I'm knocking on forty, it's been twenty years
A                     E
Since I was eighteen, just a dumb stupid kid
A                                  D          A
Tought the whole world was in the palm of my hand
A                     E                 A
That I knew it all, that I was a grown man

[Chorus]
A                        D         A
Somehow I guess that I didn't grow up
   D                 A       B         E
And I've lost the potential to be an adult
 A                                    D       G
Time's ticking down on my fortune and glory
  A                   E                 A
Knocking on forty, living on songs and stories

[Verse 2]
A                           D               A
I'm knocking on forty, it's been fourteen years
A                                E
Since you said that you love me, whatever I did
A                  D          A
Love is forever, life don't take long
A                     E                 A
The song might be over but the story goes on

[Chorus]
A                        D         A
Somehow I guess that I didn't grow up
   D                 A       B         E
And I've lost the potential to be an adult
 A                                    D     G
Time's ticking down on my fortune and glory
  A                   E                 A
Knocking on forty, living on songs and stories

[Bridge]
A A A D G
A A E A

[Chorus]
A                        D         A
Somehow I guess that I didn't grow up
   D                 A       B         E
And I've lost the potential to be an adult
 A                                    D     G
Time's ticking down on my fortune and glory
  A                   E                 A
Knocking on forty, living on songs and stories

[Outro]
  A                   E                       A
Knocking on forty, living on songs and stories
