[Verse]
(tacet)
Many years have passed, it seems
(tacet)
And I am all alone
(tacet)
I've sent the children far away
(tacet)
To some obscure unknown
(tacet)
It's so sad, so sad
[Chorus]
F# B
Close another door
F# B C#
Listen to my eyes
F# B
Close another door
F# B
You're much too old to work
C# C#
So won't you run away? (break)
[Verse]
F#
When I was young, I used to say
B C#
That age won't bother me
F#
The life I had was very sad
B C#
It all went out to sea
G#m C# C#
It's so sad, so sad (break)
[Chorus]
F# B
Close another door
F# B C#
Listen to my eyes
F# B
Close another door
F# B
You're much too old to work
C#(sus4) D
So won't you run away? (break)
[Verse]
F#
Though the sun is in outside
B C#
The rain is in my hair
F#
Now all my life is lived inside
B C#
My home is in my chair
G#m C# C#
It's so sad, so sad (break)
[Chorus]
F# B
Close another door
F# B C#
Listen to my eyes
F# B
Close another door
F# B
You're much too old to work
C# C#
So won't you run away? (break)
[Outro]
F# F#7
Let me go
B E7
Send me flowers and put me on a plane
F# C#
I may be old but I've been told
B C#
At least I'm still alive
F# F#7
Fly me up
B E7
Fly me up and send me home
F# C#
I've been working so, so very hard and
B C#
Being loved [?] but now I'm tired
