[Verse1]
G
Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old.
D
All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold.
Am G
All the kids are talking slang I won’t pretend to understand.
D A D
All my friends are getting married. Mortgages and pension plans.
G
And it’s obvious my angry adolescent days are done.
D
And I’m happy and I’m settled in the person I’ve become.
Am G
But that doesn’t mean I’m settled up and sitting out the game -
A D
Time may change a lot. But some things they stay the same.
[Chorus]
(You could either sit this out as in the studio version the guitar
stops playing, or you could play either the chords shown here or the
bass line which is how i play it.)

G
Oh, Maturity’s a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems.
D
Ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams.
Am G
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
D A D
have to grow up, be an adult. Yeah, be bored and unfulfilled.
G
But no one’s yet explained to me exactly what’s so great
D
about slaving 50 years away on something that you hate.
Am G
About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity.
A D
Well if that’s your road then take it but it’s not the road for me.
