[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]
C# F#
Close another door
C# F# G#
Listen to my eyes
C# F#
Close another door
C# F#
You're much too old to work
G# G#
So won't you run away? (break)
[Verse]
C#
When I was young, I used to say
F# G#
That age won't bother me
C#
The life I had was very sad
F# G#
It all went out to sea
D#m G# G#
It's so sad, so sad (break)
[Chorus]
C# F#
Close another door
C# F# G#
Listen to my eyes
C# F#
Close another door
C# F#
You're much too old to work
G#(sus4) D
So won't you run away? (break)
[Verse]
C#
Though the sun is in outside
F# G#
The rain is in my hair
C#
Now all my life is lived inside
F# G#
My home is in my chair
D#m G# G#
It's so sad, so sad (break)
[Chorus]
C# F#
Close another door
C# F# G#
Listen to my eyes
C# F#
Close another door
C# F#
You're much too old to work
G# G#
So won't you run away? (break)
[Outro]
C# C#7
Let me go
F# B7
Send me flowers and put me on a plane
C# G#
I may be old but I've been told
F# G#
At least I'm still alive
C# C#7
Fly me up
F# B7
Fly me up and send me home
C# G#
I've been working so, so very hard and
F# G#
Being loved [?] but now I'm tired
