A#
*MUTE*
[Verse 1]
Dm F
We're getting old, now
A# Gm
But I don't feel it
Dm F
I say you're beautiful
A# Gm
And I still mean it
Dm F
And I don't wanna know
A# Gm
What old age feels like
Dm F
So promise me you won't
A# Gm
Give up on this life
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm F
And we'll be busy tryin'
A# Gm
While the rest of them are dyin'
[Chorus 1]
A# C
Promise me we'll never grow up
Am
I don't wanna let go
Dm
I wanna stay young
A# C
And even when the wrinkles show up
Am
We'll be laughing, and
D Gm
We can play forever, don't make me face the truth
[Verse 2]
Dm F
I think it's obvious
A# Gm
That we'll stay happy
Dm F
Cause I'm the happiest
A# Gm
When you smile at me
Dm F
And we won't end the same
A# Gm
A broken family
Dm F
I'll never walk away
A# Gm
Without you with me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm F
And times are getting harder
A# Gm
But I'm nothing like my father
[Chorus 2]
A# C
Promise me we'll never grow up
Am
I don't wanna fall out
Dm
I wanna make love
A# C
And even when we can't sew up
Am
We're together, and
D Gm
Happy ever after, don't make me face the truth
[Bridge]
Dm C Gm
That I'm dying soon
Dm C Gm
That we're dying soon (Don't say goodbye!)
A#
We're so much older...
Dm Am
All I want is one more life with you! (When did we get so old, so old, so old?)
A# C
When did we get so old?
Am
Why did you get so sick?
Dm
And how could you die?
[Verse 3]
A# C
You promised me you'd never grow up
Am
Now I have to let go
Dm
God, I miss you so much!
A# C
And even when your heart gave out
Am
I was thinkin' how
D
I won't say goodbye!
A# C
You promised me you'd never grow up
Am
But you fucking grew up
Dm
God, I miss you so much!
A# *MUTE* C
And even when your heart GAVE out (Scream the "GAVE" as hard as you can)
Am
I was thinkin' I'd
D Gm
Love you till forever, and I can't face the truth
[Outro]
Dm C Gm
That I died with you
Dm C A#
That you lied...
(That you died...)
