In health and in sickness

In joy and in sorrow

As long as we both shall live

[Verse 1]
A D E
Called you at ten just to check in
D Dmaj7
And wish you my love; happy birthday
A D
And I know that it's late
E
And you're out with your friends
D Dmaj7
Does twenty-three feel any different?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m E
Then I hear you get quiet, and then I hear you lean in
D Bm
You look like your dad, but you sound like a kid
F#m E
And you said you were tired, still you throw me a quip
D
Say "The candles still beat the alternative"
[Chorus]
A E
We're getting so old
D F#m
Caught my eyes in the action
E Bm F#m E
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Verse 2]
A D E
Called you at ten, just to check in
D A
Said I'd be late, so go on to bed
D E
And our hair had gone gray, and our memories thin
Dmaj7
So I wasn't surprised to find you like this
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m E
So I straightened you out, and I drew the curtains
D
And kissed you goodbye in the ambulance
Bm F#m E
In the glow of the night, I leaned down to your head
Dmaj7 D
To ask "Does it feel any different?"
[Chorus]
A E
We're getting so old
D F#m
Caught my eyes in the action
E Bm F#m E
Of sinking into their sockets again
A E
We're getting so old
D F#m
Caught my eyes in the action
E Bm F#m E
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Bridge]
Dm A
Goodbye to the birds and the bees
E
And the trees and your truck
And the way that you lift with your knees
Dm A
And goodbye to your rockets, the king of the sky
E
How we lit 'em off quick, just to watch the things fly
[Outro]
Dm A
And goodbye to the times that we sat on your porch
E
Smoking weed in the spring, the sun and her scorch
Dm A
And goodbye to your eyes and the way that ours met
E
Now they're probably glued to the back of your head
Dm
And goodbye
A E Dm A
