In health and in sickness

(In health and in sickness)
In joy and in sorrow

(In joy and in sorrow)
As long as we both shall live

(As long as we both shall live)
[Verse 1]
B E F#
Called you at ten just to check in
E Emaj7
And wish you my love; happy birthday
B E
And I know that it's late
F#
And you're out with your friends
E Emaj7
Does twenty-three feel any different?
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m G#m F#
Then I hear you get quiet, and then I hear you lean in
E C#m
You look like your dad, but you sound like a kid
G#m F#
And you said you were tired, still you throw me a quip
E
Say "The candles still beat the alternative"
[Chorus]
B F#
We're getting so old
E G#m
Caught my eyes in the action
F# C#m G#m F#
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Verse 2]
B E F#
Called you at ten, just to check in
E B
Said I'd be late, so go on to bed
E F#
And our hair had gone gray, and our memories thin
Emaj7
So I wasn't surprised to find you like this
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m G#m F#
So I straightened you out, and I drew the curtains
E
And kissed you goodbye in the ambulance
C#m G#m F#
In the glow of the night, I leaned down to your head
Emaj7 E
To ask "Does it feel any different?"
[Chorus]
B F#
We're getting so old
E G#m
Caught my eyes in the action
F# C#m G#m F#
Of sinking into their sockets again
B F#
We're getting so old
E G#m
Caught my eyes in the action
F# C#m G#m F#
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Bridge]
Em B
Goodbye to the birds and the bees
F#
And the trees and your truck
And the way that you lift with your knees
Em B
And goodbye to your rockets, the king of the sky
F#
How we lit 'em off quick, just to watch the things fly
[Outro]
Em B
And goodbye to the times that we sat on your porch
F#
Smoking weed in the spring, the sun and her scorch
Em B
And goodbye to your eyes and the way that ours met
F#
Now they're probably glued to the back of your head
Em
And goodbye
B F# Em A
