(verso 1) 
       G 
Well i guess i should confess that i am starting to get old. 
        D 
All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold. 
        A                                 G 
All the kids are talking slang i won’t pretend to understand. 
       D                                  A               D 
All my friends are getting married. mortgages and pension plans. 
         G 
And it’s obvious my angry adolescent days are done. 
        D 
And i’m happy and i’m settled in the person i’ve become. 
         A                               G 
But that doesn’t mean i’m settled up and sitting out the game- 
A                               D                    (deixe tocar) 
Time may change a lot. but some things they stay the same.

      G 
Oh  maturity’s a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems. 
D 
Ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams. 
         A                               G 
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will 
        D              A               D 
Have to grow up  be an adult. yeah  be bored and unfulfilled. 
    G 
But no one’s yet explained to me exactly what’s so great 
      D 
About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate. 
      A                                 G 
About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity. 
        A                                      D     (deixe tocar) 
Well if that’s your road then take it but it’s not the road for me.

And if all you ever do with your life is just photosynthesise  
              G/Gb 
Then you’ll deserve every hour of your sleepless nights 
         E               A                 D 
That you waste wondering when you’re gonna die.
