C Em F C
We get older every year
Am Em
But you don't change
Am Em F C
Or I don't notice you're changing

I think about it every day
Am Em Am Em
But only for a little while
F C
And then I feel it
 
D F Am
I'll never know which way to flow
F Em F C
Set a course that I don't know
 
D F Am
I'll never know which way to flow
F Em F C
Set a course that I don't know

The wind's blowing in my face
Am Em Am Em F C
Lately find it hard to keep the pace
Em F C
And I'm looking for a place to go
Am Em Am Em
But only for a little while
F C
And then I feel it
 
 
 
D F Am
I'll never know which way to flow
F Em F C
Set a course that I don't know
 
D F Am
I'll never know which way to flow
F Em F C
Set a course that I don't know
