Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 The Chorus is , , ,

We are young we have

years ahead maybe

we might fall in love

 or fall apart

 fall apart

 Before it ends well we

 should try to start

  So I’ll go

  But I’m telling you I don’t

  want to go

  I could be stuck here and happy

There’s a puzzle I

work on endlessly

and I’ve got all the sides and all the corners

 But there’s a space

 Oh there’s a space

 Lost some pieces I

 can’t replace

  So I’ll be

  But I’m telling you I don’t

  want to be

  Just a wasted puzzle piece

We are old and our son

took the dog away

and fair enough guess we’re

 tired all the time

 all the time

 and you know dogs they need

 ample time outside

  So I’ll stay

  But I’m telling you I don’t

  want to stay

 So I’ll brace myself against the wall

 and hope to God that I don’t fall

 My bones are worn my hip won’t hold

 I used to be so young

 How did I get so old

 Won’t you take my cane and hold my hand

 You’re holding on to all I have

 just a basket full of memories

 and I am loosing more each day it seems

 but if I can make it to the street

 I’ll steal a car or a bike

 whatever there is to steal

 and it might get cold I just don’t care

 I’m going till I’m getting there

 I’ll ride my steed all through this town

till I.........

have looked

 till I have found

 Your peaceful memory

Won’t you return to me

Won’t you return to me
