[Verse 1]
GAm7D7GD/F#
I don't want to ride... the milk train any - more,
Emadd9Am7B7EmEm7/D
I'll go to bed at nine, and waken with the dawn,
Cmaj7GD/F#Emadd9
And lunch at half past noon, ...dinner prompt at five,
GD/F#EmEm7/DCmaj7
The comfort of a few old friends, long passed their prime
[Verse 2]
Am7A7A7sus4A7
Pass the tea and sympathy, for the good old days long gone,
Cmaj7GD/F#Em7Bm
Let's drink a toast to those who most be - lieve in what they've won,
Am7A7A7sus4A7
It's a long, long time 'til morning plays wasted on the dawn,
GD/F#EmEm7/DD7GC/GGC/G
I'll not write a - nother line, for my true love is gone
[Verse 3]
GAm7D7GD/F#
And when the guests have done, I'll tidy up the room,
Emadd9Am7B7EmEm7/D
I'll turn the covers down, and gazing at the moon,
Cmaj7GD/F#Emadd9
I'll pray to go quite mad, ...and live in long a - go,
GD/F#EmEm7/DCmaj7
When you and I were one, so very long ago
[Verse 4]

I'll not write a - nother line, for my true love is gone
[Verse 5]
GAm7D7GD/F#
And when I have no dreams to give you any - more,
Emadd9Am7B7EmEm7/D
I'll light a blazing fire, and wait within the door,
Cmaj7GD/F#Em7Bm
And throw my life a - way, 'I wonder why!' they all will say,
Am7D9/F#G
Now I lay me down to sleep for - ever, and a day
[Verse 6]
Am7A7A7sus4A7
Pass the tea and sympathy, for the good old days are dead,
Cmaj7GD/F#Em7Bm
Let's drink a toast to those who best sur - vived the life they've lead,
Am7A7A7sus4A7
It's a long, long time 'til morning, ...so build your fires high,
GD/F#EmCmaj7
Now I lay me down to sleep,

For - ever by your side-----! | / / / / | / / / / | / ||
