As long as we both shall live

[Verse 1]
F# B C#
Called you at ten just to check in
B Bmaj7
And wish you my love; happy birthday
F# B
And I know that it's late
C#
And you're out with your friends
B Bmaj7
Does twenty-three feel any different?
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m D#m C#
Then I hear you get quiet, and then I hear you lean in
B G#m
You look like your dad, but you sound like a kid
D#m C#
And you said you were tired, still you throw me a quip
B
Say "The candles still beat the alternative"
[Chorus]
F# C#
We're getting so old
B D#m
Caught my eyes in the action
C# G#m D#m C#
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Verse 2]
F# B C#
Called you at ten, just to check in
B F#
Said I'd be late, so go on to bed
B C#
And our hair had gone gray, and our memories thin
Bmaj7
So I wasn't surprised to find you like this
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m D#m C#
So I straightened you out, and I drew the curtains
B
And kissed you goodbye in the ambulance
G#m D#m C#
In the glow of the night, I leaned down to your head
Bmaj7 B
To ask "Does it feel any different?"
[Chorus]
F# C#
We're getting so old
B D#m
Caught my eyes in the action
C# G#m D#m C#
Of sinking into their sockets again
F# C#
We're getting so old
B D#m
Caught my eyes in the action
C# G#m D#m C#
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Bridge]
Bm F#
Goodbye to the birds and the bees
C#
And the trees and your truck
And the way that you lift with your knees
Bm F#
And goodbye to your rockets, the king of the sky
C#
How we lit 'em off quick, just to watch the things fly
[Outro]
Bm F#
And goodbye to the times that we sat on your porch
C#
Smoking weed in the spring, the sun and her scorch
Bm F#
And goodbye to your eyes and the way that ours met
C#
Now they're probably glued to the back of your head
Bm
And goodbye
F# C# Bm A
