G


[Verse 1]
                             G
When you are old and gone away
                       D
Will you remember me today
                        Em
With youth still in my eyes
                        C
And wild hair across my face?

                               G
When you are old and gone from me
                       D
Will you remember how I speak
                        Em
With that confidence of children
                      C
And that noble lack of sleep?

                            G
When you're old and someone new
                        D
Will you think of how my shoes
                                 Am
All tattered, drag themselves beside you
                      C
As we're walking home from school?

C Em Am


[Bridge]
       Em       C           C Em Am
Been making myself
     Em           C          C Em Am
So sick with the truth
      Em     C             C Em Am
But I realize now
     Em               C
Our lovе is made of youth


[Chorus]
             G    D    Am
When we grow up
                  G           D              Am
I will brеak my promises and you'll fall out of love
                  G     D     Am 
We will not grow old
  C
together


[Verse 2]
                        G
When you're aged and away
                           D
Will you think of me the day
                         Em
That we skipped a day of classes
                               C
To act like lovers in the rain?

                              G
And when you're taken by the years
                          D
Will you recall me thus my dear
                           Em
A skinny figure at your doorway
                                C
Legs like spindles, stiff with fear?

                             G
And when we've up and grown apart
                        D
Will you remember how the art
                       Am
Used to fall out of my fingers
                           C
Into sketchbooks in the park?

C Em Am


[Bridge]
         Em         C    C Em Am
And I'm aging my soul
     Em  C           C Em Am
I'm so high-strung
         Em      C       C Em Am
'Cause I realize now
             Em              C
This kind of love is for the young


[Chorus]
             G    D    Am
When we grow up
                  G           D              Am
I will break my promises and you'll fall out of love
                  G     D     Am
We will not grow old
  C
together


[Verse 3]
                          G
And now I'm old and gone away
                         D
I still remember how your face
                               Em
Shone with youth and love and confidence
                   C         G
That you would always stay
