D#
Now all my life is lived inside
G# A#
My home is in my chair
Fm A# A#
It's so sad, so sad (break)
[Chorus]
D# G#
Close another door
D# G# A#
Listen to my eyes
D# G#
Close another door
D# G#
You're much too old to work
A# A#
So won't you run away? (break)
[Outro]
D# D#7
Let me go
G# C#7
Send me flowers and put me on a plane
D# A#
I may be old but I've been told
G# A#
At least I'm still alive
D# D#7
Fly me up
G# C#7
Fly me up and send me home
D# A#
I've been working so, so very hard and
G# A#
Being loved [?] but now I'm tired
