Am Em C D
G C
Why is it that as we grow older and stronger
G C
The road signs point us adrift and make us afraid
Am Em
Saying You never can win Watch your back Where's your husband
Am Em C D
Oh I don't like the signs that the signmakers made
G C
So I'm going to steal out with my paint and brushes
G C
I'll change the directions I'll hit every street
Am Em
It's the Tinseltown scandal the Robin Hood vandal
Am Em C
She goes out and steals the King's English
D
And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you
They say
G C
I'm so glad that you finally made it here
G C
You thought nobody cared but I did I could tell
G C
And This is your year and It always starts here
Am Em C D G C G C
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh You're aging well
G C
Well I know a woman with a collection of sticks
G C
She could fight back the hundreds of voices she heard
Am Em
And she could poke at the greed she could fend off her need
Am Em C D
And with anger she found she could pound every word
G C
But one voice got through caught her up by surprise
G C
It said Don't hold us back we're the story you tell
Am Em
And no sooner than spoken a spell had been broken
Am Em C
And the voices before her were trumpets and tympani
D
Violins basses and woodwinds and cellos singing
G C
We're so glad that you finally made it here
G C
You thought nobody cared but we did we could tell
G C
And now you'll dance through the days while the orchestra plays
Am Em C D G
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh you're aging well
C G C Am Em Am Em C D
G C
Now when I was fifteen oh I knew it was over
G C
The road to enchantment was not mine to take
Am Em
Cause lower calf upper arm should be half what they are
Am Em C D
I was breaking the laws that the signmakers made
G C
And all I could eat was the poisonous apple
G C
And that's not a story I was meant to survive
Am Em
I was all out of choices but the woman of voices
Am Em C
She turned round the corner with music around her
D
She gave me the language that keeps me alive she said
G C
I'm so glad that you finally made it here
G C
With the things you know now that only time could tell
G C
Looking back seeing far landing right where we are
Am Em C D Am Em C D
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh you're aging oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh and I am aging
Am Em C D G C G
oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh aren't we aging well
