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