E 
We are young we have 
Years ahead maybe 
We might fall in love 
             F#m 
Or fall apart 
          E 
Fall apart 
         F#m 
Before it ends well we 
                 E 
Should try to start 

 
         Asus2 
   So I’ll go 
            B7            E 
   But I’m telling you I don’t 
          Asus2 
   Want to go 
              Asus2               B7 
   I could be stuck here and happy 

E 
There’s a puzzle I 
Work on endlessly 
And I’ve got all the sides and all the corners 
               F#m 
But there’s a space 
               E 
Oh there’s a space 
            F#m 
Lost some pieces I 
           E  
Can’t replace 

           Asus2 
   So I’ll be 
              B7           E 
   But I’m telling you I don’t 
          Asus2 
   Want to be 
          Asus2            B7 
   Just a wasted puzzle piece 


E 
We are old and our son 
Took the dog away 
And fair enough guess we’re 
               F#m 
Tired all the time 
          E 
All the time 
             F#m 
And you know dogs they need 
                E 
Ample time outside 

           Asus2 
   So I’ll stay 
           B7              E 
   But I’m telling you I don’t 
           Asus2 
   Want to stay 

        Asus2         B7  
So I’ll brace myself against the wall 
      E                Asus2 
And hope to God that I don’t fall 
   Asus2              B7 
My bones are worn my hip won’t hold 
          E 
I used to be so young  
         Asus2          (start strumming the next chord) 
How did I get so old?   
      Asus2                B7 
Won’t you take my cane and hold my hand 
          E          Asus2 
You’re holding on to all I have 
     Asus2             B7 
Just a basket full of memories 
        E                 Asus2 
And I am losing more each day it seems  
       Asus2          B7 
But if I can make it to the street  
              E 
I’ll steal a car or a bike 
              Asus2 
Whatever there is to steal 
       Asus2            B7 
And it might get cold I just don’t care 
     E              Asus2 
I’m going till I’m getting there 
     Asus2                B7 
I’ll ride my steed all through this town 

Till I......... 
E 
Have looked 
    Asus2 
Till I have found 
     Asus2       B7 
Your peaceful memory 

Asus2               B7 
Won’t you return to me 
Asus2               B7 
Won’t you return to me
