Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now
Dbm Gb
or, darling, have you started feeling old yet?
B Abm
Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
Dbm Gb
with the efficiency that only youth can harness.
B Abm
And do you still think love is a laserquest?
Dbm Gb
Or do you take it all more seriously?
B Abm
I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had,
Dbm Gb
but you're always busy being make-believe.
E Gb
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there?
B E
Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered?
Gb E B
Well I'm not being honest, I'll pretend that you were just some lover.
B Abm
Now I can't think of there without thinking of you,
Dbm Gb
I doubt that comes as a surprise.
B Abm
And I can't think of anything to dream about,
Dbm Gb
I can't find anywhere to hide.
E Gb
And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes
B E
and I convince myself I need another.
Gb E B
And for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover.
Interlude: B Abm Dbm Gb
E Gb
When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair,
B E
singing dreadful songs about summat.
Gb E Abm
Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover.
E Gb E B
Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover...
