[Verse]

Em

You choose your way, and I

C

By God, I will choose mine

Am G

Thumb went up, guitar in hand

Em

You sought the high life

C

With those rich and shameless men

Am G

And I get my fill on one-night stands

Em

You wanted the things that I

C

I couldn't possibly buy

Am G

And I wanted to wander and sing my songs

Em

Your life became parties

C

With handsome men and jealousies

Am G

And I worked the dark and dingy bars

[Chorus]

C G

So why do we seek and yet always want?

D G

Why do we go and never arrive?

C G

I'd give it all, but darling, tell me what's the use?

D G

It will never gain back our youth

Em C Am G

[Verse]

Em

Now in the twilight

C

I try not to wonder why

Am G

Our paths have changed and years gone by

Em

Well, the riches you wanted

C

And the fame that I sought were

Am G

Not achieved by us on our goodbye

Em

And you found your lake lit home

C

And I found my national fame

Am G

Oh, the robber, and we're shamed (?)

Em

So tell me what it's worth

C

With all the splendors of the earth

Am G

And why couldn't we see our paths were the same?

[Chorus]

C G

So why do we seek and yet always want?

D G

Why do we go and never arrive?

C G

I'd give it all, but darling, tell me what's the use?

D G

We'll never gain back our youth

[Bridge]

Am

It's coming down

G

I'm gonna drown

Fmaj7 C

The rain will wash me away

A

I'll be ok

G

I've seen better days

Fmaj7 C

But I'll still love you just the same

C

[Chorus]

N.C.

So why do we seek and yet always want?

Why do we go and never arrive?

I'd give it all, but darling, tell me what's the use?

N.C.

It will never gain back our youth
