[Verse 1]
A# D# F
Called you at ten just to check in
D# D#maj7
And wish you my love; happy birthday
A# D#
And I know that it's late
F
And you're out with your friends
D# D#maj7
Does twenty-three feel any different?
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Gm F
Then I hear you get quiet, and then I hear you lean in
D# Cm
You look like your dad, but you sound like a kid
Gm F
And you said you were tired, still you throw me a quip
D#
Say "The candles still beat the alternative"
[Chorus]
A# F
We're getting so old
D# Gm
Caught my eyes in the action
F Cm Gm F
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Verse 2]
A# D# F
Called you at ten, just to check in
D# A#
Said I'd be late, so go on to bed
D# F
And our hair had gone gray, and our memories thin
D#maj7
So I wasn't surprised to find you like this
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Gm F
So I straightened you out, and I drew the curtains
D#
And kissed you goodbye in the ambulance
Cm Gm F
In the glow of the night, I leaned down to your head
D#maj7 D#
To ask "Does it feel any different?"
[Chorus]
A# F
We're getting so old
D# Gm
Caught my eyes in the action
F Cm Gm F
Of sinking into their sockets again
A# F
We're getting so old
D# Gm
Caught my eyes in the action
F Cm Gm F
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Bridge]
D#m A#
Goodbye to the birds and the bees
F
And the trees and your truck
And the way that you lift with your knees
D#m A#
And goodbye to your rockets, the king of the sky
F
How we lit 'em off quick, just to watch the things fly
[Outro]
D#m A#
And goodbye to the times that we sat on your porch
F
Smoking weed in the spring, the sun and her scorch
D#m A#
And goodbye to your eyes and the way that ours met
F
Now they're probably glued to the back of your head
D#m
And goodbye
A# F D#m A
