Intro:
GCDCGC Dadd4add9 G x2
Verse:
GC
It's funny with age, you get to the stage,
DC
your head and your heart aren't on the same page;
GCG
your heart will wait forever, but your skin says you're getting old.
C
Good things come to those who wait,
DC
the lights were up and it was getting late;
GC to Dadd4add9 G
she wore my coat 'cos she said that she was cold.
Pre-Chorus:
CG
Funny how quick a coat turns into a ring.
EmD
Looking back now I don't remember a thing.
First Chorus:
C Dadd4add9 G
We don't talk about the writing on the wall;
G/F#EmAm
somedays we don't talk at all.
DGG7C
When the lights are dim and my time is free,
Dadd4add9 G
I sometimes think about the good times that I missed,
G/F#EmAm
I sometimes think about the girls I could've kissed,
DG
but I settled for her and she settled for me.
GCDCGC Dadd4add9 G
Second Verse:
C
It's funny how time just seems to fly,
DC
you blink your eyes and it'll pass you by,
GCG
before too long you're getting on the bus for free.
C
Same old routine, same old blue jeans,
DCGC Dadd4add9 G
same old nightmares, different dreams.

Funny how quick the days turn into years.
