C     Am  C   F C Dm7  C  F   C  F


[Verse 1]
  C             G/B     Am      G
I walked in the city at midday
       F  C      Dm   F  C
It was empty and bare
              G/B       Am        G
Looked in the mirror at midnight
          F C    Dm   
There was nobody there


[Verse 2]
G         C             F             G
You had become the very breath that I breathed
         Am7     G         F          G     F
You were all I desired, my will to succeed
          G           C           F
But now I know how it feels to be old
    C  Cadd9 C
Out in the   cold


[Instrumental]
C     Am  C   F C Dm7  C  F 


[Verse 3]
  C             G/B     Am      G
I walked in the city at midday
       F   C       Dm     F  C
It was feeling the strain
                G/B       Am        G
I looked in the mirror at midnight
       F    C      Dm   
It was starting to rain


[Verse 4]
  G              C             F           G
I sucked on your breasts, your legs opened wide
        Am7        G             F           G     F
I could scarcely believe all the pleasures inside
          G           C           F
But now I know how it feels to be old
    C  Cadd9 C
Out in the   cold

[Verse 5]
   G      C              F       G      Am7
Whoever believed in astrological signs
         G              F            G      F
Under my eyes your name burns in the lines
          G           C           F
For now I know how it feels to be old
    C  Cadd9 C     G/B  Am7  C
Out in the   cold
F   Dm     C
Out in the cold
