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