[Verse]
E
When I was young, I used to say
A B
That age won't bother me
E
The life I had was very sad
A B
It all went out to sea
F#m B B
It's so sad, so sad (break)
[Chorus]
E A
Close another door
E A B
Listen to my eyes
E A
Close another door
E A
You're much too old to work
B(sus4) D
So won't you run away? (break)
[Verse]
E
Though the sun is in outside
A B
The rain is in my hair
E
Now all my life is lived inside
A B
My home is in my chair
F#m B B
It's so sad, so sad (break)
[Chorus]
E A
Close another door
E A B
Listen to my eyes
E A
Close another door
E A
You're much too old to work
B B
So won't you run away? (break)
[Outro]
E E7
Let me go
A D7
Send me flowers and put me on a plane
E B
I may be old but I've been told
A B
At least I'm still alive
E E7
Fly me up
A D7
Fly me up and send me home
E B
I've been working so, so very hard and
A B
Being loved [?] but now I'm tired
