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