I see a girl from afar
C Csus4 G G7
I see a light and a rare shooting star
Am G F C
but my sweet Marianne, all you see is a man
Am G C
on the wrong side of five and thirty
C Csus4 G Csus4
How long it's been since a day
C Csus4 G G7
I felt awake and alive in this way
Am G F C
but my sweet Marianne, all you see is a man
Am G C Csus4
on the wrong side of five and thirty
E7 Am F
Why should you look at me
C
What can I offer?
Eb Bb F
How can I dare take your hand
C Csus4
But I wish you well
G Csus4
Wish you grace
C Csus4 G G7
May you find joy in the future you face
Am G C D
But for now Marianne, in the corner I stand
F7 G7
With my heart in my hand
C
And a slow loss of pride
Cdim
for it seems I reside
F7 G7
on the wrong side of five
C Fm C
and thirty
