[Verse 1]
C           G       Am         
Now that I'm older, I know I'm 
Am/G              F
not old enough to know

C                G        Am    
what it is to be lonesome, what 
         Am/G         F
it is to be without a home

       E                  F       
I've a friend in mind who loves 
  D/F#    G
me, rain or shine

E/G#        Am           Am/G   
Don't ask me why but his younger
                  F
 eyes are so much older eyes than 
mine

C             G          Am     
Thought I was well-read, I 
            Am/G          F
wouldn't need to ask him for a lead

C                    G          
When I read what his eyes said, 
Am           Am/G            F
I knew I had nothing more to read

       E                 F       
Nothing more to say, no, nothing 
D/F#    G      E/G#
more to do but throw all my

Am            Am/G           
words away on someone who needs 
             F
them, who can't find a good man like
 you

[Verse 3]
C           G        Am         
Ran all the way here to be the 
         Am/G          F
first to see the rising star

C                  G         Am 
There were others before me, the
          Am/G           F
 sound of beauty travels far

          Em              F       
I hear it loud and clear, ring 
    D/F#   G    E/G#           
like a silver coin thrown down on

stone

           F                     
Though I'm lost in a crowd I just 
                           C
know he's around me somehow

           F
Though I'm lost in a crowd I just 
know he's around me,

                         C
just know he's around me somehow
