We Are No Longer Twenty Five

C* - 054035

              Am               C  
Well I can’t think of better ways 
             G
to spend my time
      Am                      Em7
Than living in this life of rhyme
  Am               C              
Surrounded by my future friends, 
        G    G/F#       Em7
for the best days of my life
             C                     
 And it’s hardly growing up I know,
          C*
 but it makes me feel alright


      C              Am           
If I had a point I don’t know what
     G
 it was.
                       C      
Some days I stand on stage for 
         Am          Em7
little reason but because
                        Am      
And though I've wasted days, you 
          C                    G
know I won’t take back these nights
               Am          C    
I will not let go, I will live my 
   G
life



Am                   C           
          And if I haven’t done 
   G           Am          
so well, it’s living in this 
          Em7
concrete hell
       Am               C         
Where you all love the one show, 
          G    G/F#   Em7
and we’re all in bed by 12
Continues after the ad
       C                       
And I cannot call this place my 
                 C*
home, till I’ve no more tales to 
tell.



        C             Am          
So for now I’m just content to 
       G
spend my time
                 C           Am   
Putting pen to paper in the hope 
         Em7
of grand design
                        Am      
And though I’ve wasted days, you 
         C                       G
know I won’t take back these nights
               Am           C   
I will not let go, I will live my 
   G
life



G, Em7, G/F#, Em7, C, G x2



         Am       C               
And I finally recognised , the 
   G
other night
      Am                     Em7
That we’re no longer twenty five
     Am                C
The fame never came knocking
         G      G/F#   Em7
And perhaps it never might
            C                      
But we’re too far gone to quit this
              C*
 now, to just go without a fight


       C              Am          
If I had a point I don’t know what
      G
 it was.
                       C      
Some days I stand on stage for 
         Am          Em7
little reason but because
                        Am      
And though I’ve wasted days, you 
          C                    G
know I won’t take back these nights
               Am          C    
I will not let go, I will live my 
   G
life


      C              Am           
If I had a point I don’t know what
     G
 it was.
                       C      
Some days I stand on stage for 
         Am          Em7
little reason but because

          Am                 C    
When the day arrives I must bid 
            G
you all good night
                Am         C    
I will not let go, I will live my 
   G
life
