Getting Old Song

Am F C G

[Verse 1]
Am
There's a mirror on my wall.
F
The reflection tells it all.
C                          G
Grey hair and lines upon my skin.
   Am
And as I look into those eyes,
    F
They have seen a life go by
   C                    G      
And captured images of wonders I 
        C
have seen.
Am
And there's a picture on my shelf
F
And it's of a former self.
C                                 
Taken back when life was wild and 
G
free.
Am
And I sometimes wonder why
F
Did the years keep rolling by
C                         G      
And whatever happened to the man 
          C
I used to be?

[Chorus]
F                          G
Cause no one tells you when you get 
old

C                               
You'll feel so weak and you'll feel 
Am
so cold.
F                                 
And maybe one day all your friends
     G
 will be gone.
C           G              Am
And you'll find yourself alone.
F                       G
And all that's left are silent 
memories.
C                            Am
And fading photographs of how things
 used to be.
F                                  
Of people and places that you will 
G             C
never see again.

[Verse 2]
Am
And this chair behind my door
F
That no one uses anymore.
C                              G
It used to be her favorite one she'd
 say.
Am
Sometimes I sit and stare
F
And I can still see her there
C                       G        
Looking so relaxed and smiling 
       C
back at me.
Am
And there's an empty feeling here.
F
And a constant nagging fear
C                            G
That one day I just might forget her
 face.
Am
Cause I'm beginning to forget
F
The names of people I have met
C                           G    
And I'm scared I'll be left 
      C
without a trace.

[Chorus]
F                            G
Cause no one tells you when you get 
old
C                             Am
You'll feel so weak and you'll feel 
so cold.
F                          G
And maybe all your friends will be 
gone.
C           G              Am
And you'll find yourself alone.
F                        G
And all that's left are silent 
memories.
C                         Am
And fading photographs of how things
 used to be.
F                                 
Of people and places that you may 
G             C
never see again.

F                        G
And all that's left are silent 
memories.
C                            Am
And fading photographs of how things
 used to be.
F                                
Of people and places that you 
G               C
will never see again.
