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