[Verse 1]
G C D
Called you at ten just to check in
C Cmaj7
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 Cmaj7
Does twenty-three feel any different?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em D
Then I hear you get quiet, and then I hear you lean in
C Am
You look like your dad, but you sound like a kid
Em 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 Em
Caught my eyes in the action
D Am Em 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
Cmaj7
So I wasn't surprised to find you like this
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em D
So I straightened you out, and I drew the curtains
C
And kissed you goodbye in the ambulance
Am Em D
In the glow of the night, I leaned down to your head
Cmaj7 C
To ask "Does it feel any different?"
[Chorus]
G D
We're getting so old
C Em
Caught my eyes in the action
D Am Em D
Of sinking into their sockets again
G D
We're getting so old
C Em
Caught my eyes in the action
D Am Em D
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Bridge]
Cm G
Goodbye to the birds and the bees
D
And the trees and your truck
And the way that you lift with your knees
Cm 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]
Cm G
And goodbye to the times that we sat on your porch
D
Smoking weed in the spring, the sun and her scorch
Cm G
And goodbye to your eyes and the way that ours met
D
Now they're probably glued to the back of your head
Cm
And goodbye
G D Cm A
