Intro
G D Em C 
 
Verse 1
G 
  You spend your whole life 
D 
Looking for an angel 
Em                     C 
  To catch you when you fall 
G 
  But you don't realize 
    D            Em                       C 
It’s not an angel you're searching for at all 
 
                G                       D 
And time brings signals, these binding symbols 
    Em               C 
You really ought to heed 
      G               D 
You'll never know 'til it's broken 
         Em                 C 
That it's something that you need 
 
Chorus
G                       D 
  Old man, try your best to be patient 
Em                       C 
  ‘Cause now you found a friend 
G                    D 
  Old man, crumple up your resignation 
Em                        C 
  You haven't reached the end 
 
Verse 2
G                          D 
  You say you've grown up a little different 
Em               C 
That no one understood 
G 
  You're gonna get there 
    D 
And wonder where the time went 
Em              C 
You have to see the good 
 
Chorus
G                  D 
  Old man, you are running from me 
Em                    C 
  Where does your aim lie? 
G                       D 
  Old man, slow it down and think of me 
Em              C 
  Please stay behind
