Intro
E
In health and in sickness
A
(In health and in sickness)
In joy and in sorrow
B
(In joy and in sorrow)
As long as we both shall live

(As long as we both shall live)
[Verse 1]
E A B
Called you at ten just to check in
A Amaj7
And wish you my love; happy birthday
E A
And I know that it's late
B
And you're out with your friends
A Amaj7
Does twenty-three feel any different?
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m B
Then I hear you get quiet, and then I hear you lean in
A F#m
You look like your dad, but you sound like a kid
C#m B
And you said you were tired, still you throw me a quip
A
Say "The candles still beat the alternative"
[Chorus]
E B
We're getting so old
A C#m
Caught my eyes in the action
B F#m C#m B
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Verse 2]
E A B
Called you at ten, just to check in
A E
Said I'd be late, so go on to bed
A B
And our hair had gone gray, and our memories thin
Amaj7
So I wasn't surprised to find you like this
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m B
So I straightened you out, and I drew the curtains
A
And kissed you goodbye in the ambulance
F#m C#m B
In the glow of the night, I leaned down to your head
Amaj7 A
To ask "Does it feel any different?"
[Chorus]
E B
We're getting so old
A C#m
Caught my eyes in the action
B F#m C#m B
Of sinking into their sockets again
E B
We're getting so old
A C#m
Caught my eyes in the action
B F#m C#m B
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Bridge]
Am E
Goodbye to the birds and the bees
B
And the trees and your truck
And the way that you lift with your knees
Am E
And goodbye to your rockets, the king of the sky
B
How we lit 'em off quick, just to watch the things fly
[Outro]
Am E
And goodbye to the times that we sat on your porch
B
Smoking weed in the spring, the sun and her scorch
Am E
And goodbye to your eyes and the way that ours met
B
Now they're probably glued to the back of your head
Am
And goodbye
E B Am A
