As long as we both shall live

[Verse 1]
D G A
Called you at ten just to check in
G Gmaj7
And wish you my love; happy birthday
D G
And I know that it's late
A
And you're out with your friends
G Gmaj7
Does twenty-three feel any different?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Bm A
Then I hear you get quiet, and then I hear you lean in
G Em
You look like your dad, but you sound like a kid
Bm A
And you said you were tired, still you throw me a quip
G
Say "The candles still beat the alternative"
[Chorus]
D A
We're getting so old
G Bm
Caught my eyes in the action
A Em Bm A
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Verse 2]
D G A
Called you at ten, just to check in
G D
Said I'd be late, so go on to bed
G A
And our hair had gone gray, and our memories thin
Gmaj7
So I wasn't surprised to find you like this
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Bm A
So I straightened you out, and I drew the curtains
G
And kissed you goodbye in the ambulance
Em Bm A
In the glow of the night, I leaned down to your head
Gmaj7 G
To ask "Does it feel any different?"
[Chorus]
D A
We're getting so old
G Bm
Caught my eyes in the action
A Em Bm A
Of sinking into their sockets again
D A
We're getting so old
G Bm
Caught my eyes in the action
A Em Bm A
Of sinking into their sockets again
[Bridge]
Gm D
Goodbye to the birds and the bees
A
And the trees and your truck
And the way that you lift with your knees
Gm D
And goodbye to your rockets, the king of the sky
A
How we lit 'em off quick, just to watch the things fly
[Outro]
Gm D
And goodbye to the times that we sat on your porch
A
Smoking weed in the spring, the sun and her scorch
Gm D
And goodbye to your eyes and the way that ours met
A
Now they're probably glued to the back of your head
Gm
And goodbye
D A Gm A
