Intro: Am7 D7


Strophe:
      B7                         
Since I've known you we've always 
           Em*
been together
      B                            
And in that time the love we shared
      G7
 -  we vowed would last forever
      C                      
Yet marriage is a subject you 
      Ebm7*
approve
 D*                               
providing it has nothing whatsoever 
E*
to do with you
           Am                      
And much as I respect that view - i
       Bm
 have to state my case
            C            
Though I'm far from being 
   Bm
over-the-hill
      F                    C7 C7  
It occurs to me with each pas-sing
 D7
 day


Refrain:
      Am         D       Bm   Em
That I'm not getting any younger
      Am           Cm         G   G7
 - God knows it wasn't my idea
        C7    B7                  
The years that used to take  - An 
         Em7      Am*
eternity to make
     G                   Cm*      
Are now passing at what seems   - 
              F     C   C    G
   like one a week.

Strophe:
      B7                        
If only we'd have met when I was 
  Em*
your age
      B                            
I wouldn't have this awful fear  - 
  G7
I get when I leave your place
      C                            
You don't know how upsetting it can
Ebm7*
 be
   D*                              
To hear you talk of future plans  -
               E*
 None of which seem to include me
               Am
Blue jeans and high heel boots are 
great course
  Bm
I still wear mine quite a bit
          C                      
But it's now more apparent than ever
Bm
 before
     F                  C7 C7  D7
Despite keeping myself fair-ly  fit

Refrain:
      Am         D       Bm   Em
That I'm not getting any younger
           Am                
Even those grey hairs are now 
  Cm            G   G7
starting to appear
               C7           B7
And there are lines under my eyes
           Em7             Am*
That never used to be this size
     G                   Cm*      
Even though it could be due       
        B        Em
  -  to lack of sleep
            Am                D   
Something tells me that it's more 
                    Bb  C  C  C  G
to do with passing years.

Strophe:
      B7                           
At times I think perhaps it would 
         Em*
be better
      B                            
If rather than go on this way 
      G7
posted you a letter
      C                         
Explaining in great detail why I 
   Ebm7*
feel
D*                            
The way things are between us - 
                  E*
Suits you much more than it suits me
            Am                     
You have you whole life ahead of 
         Bm
you - Well damn it I also have mine
          C                      Bm
And unless I am by nature a freak  -
        F                  C7   
There's no mistaking those 
C7  D7
dead-ly signs


Refrain:
      Am         D       Bm   Em
And I'm not getting any younger 
      Am           Cm         G   G7
 - Look closely now and you will see
        C7    B7            
The rebel in his teens  - Who 
             Em7        Am*
thought all adults were obscene
     G                   Cm*      
Is now somewhat disenchanted with 
         B        Em
the news
            Am                D   
That kids today have got no 
            C  D   E  F#
respect for his views


Refrain:
      G#m         C#      Bbm  Ebm
And I'm not getting any younger
                  G#m          
Gone are those days when school 
    Bm                F#     F#7
reports were all I feared
      B7      Bb7                 
Now for the first time in my life 
            Ebm7           G#m
I'm seeing something I don't like
    F#                  Bm*    
And am powerless to prevent from 
          Bb      Ebm
happening
          G#m                C#   
One day you'll find out for 
                 F   C   C   G
yourself just what I mean.
