Don t feel bad if you wake up feeling suddenly old
More the realisation that you ve let yourself be covered by mould
Age is not something you wrap up if you re feeling the cold
It s a laugh ten times harder at a joke eleven times told
Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults
Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts
No better reminder, no strong enough salts
To show this pitiful few
that we ve missed the last waltz
that we ve missed the last waltz
Don t feel bad if you re feeling past you sell-by date
Like the roller coaster ride slowed down to a serious debate
Oh the weather you tell them you re ready or whether you wait
Does someone place a hand on your shoulder you point the way to the gate
Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults
Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts
No better reminder, no strong enough salts
To show this pitiful few
that we ve missed the last waltz
that we ve missed the last waltz
(then same chords as chorus, but different melody:)
You don t count the birthdays til your out on your own
They come thicker and faster and too damn late to postpone
And wisdom s the last thing the scientists willing to clone
Science advances, maturity dances alone
Science advances, maturity dances alone
If you are singing, the B7 is best played this way, to sound better with your voice:
B7addC
Unscrew the bolts
