VERSE 1:

       GWell I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old. 

        DAll the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold. 

        Am                                        GAll the kids are talking slang I won’t pretend to understand. 

       D                                  A               DAll my friends are getting married, mortgages and pension plans.
 
         GAnd it’s obvious my angry adolescent days are done. 

        DAnd I’m happy and I’m settled in the person I’ve become. 

         Am                               GBut that doesn’t mean I’m settled up and sitting out the game- 

A                               D                   Time may change a lot. But some things they stay the same.

VERSE 2:

      GOh, maturity’s a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems. 

DDitching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams. 

         Am                               GAll your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will 

        D              A               Dhave to grow up, be an adult. Yeah, be bored and unfulfilled. 

    GBut no one’s yet explained to me exactly what’s so great 

      Dabout slaving 50 years away on something that you hate. 

      Am                                 GAbout meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity. 

        A                                      D   Well if that’s your road then take it but it’s not the road for me.
