Verse 1
         D                    D7                 G 
you can see that I’ve grown mellow through the years 
         D              D7               G          A7 
and I haven’t got the drive I did as a young strong man 
       D             D7                 G 
as tempers cooled I know I’m talking softer now 
       B           F# 
and I lost that burning rage I use 
        A                   B7 
from trying to change the world 
 
Verse 2
         D                D7           G 
now I just want to lay back and be comfortable 
         D            D7           G           A7 
I just want to let those problems slowly fade away 
         D            D7               G 
And I don’t care to be the strongest anymore 
      B                F#            A             B7 
I’m quite content to step aside and let the fight go on 
 
Chorus
       Gmin                         C 
And as long as our passion doesn’t cool 
    D7         G               F 
We could be advisors to the young 
       Gmin                          C    D 
and keeping lives together with our love 
     E              E7 
And then our work is done 
     A7                 D 
And then our work is done 
 
Verse 3
      D                    D7        G 
Well I guess I miss the danger of survival 
       D                   D7          G         A7 
And all the things we sacrificed to a dream of yesterday 
       D                  D7             G 
Dreams have kept us going through the mysteries of life 
        B                 F#               A                   B7 
And when I look back in time there’s not a thing that I would change
