Frank Marzano - Golden Years

F [Verse] F E7 I’m sitting by myself in a room that looks strange to me. F Am7-5 D7 They say it’s my new home. Everything’s been arranged for me. Gm Bbm7 F The furniture is different. What happened to my chair? D7 G I’m looking out the window. Don’t recognize what’s there. C Caug It seems I have no choice, so I guess I’ll go ahead. [Verse] F E7 Suppertime is early and the food tastes so bland to me. F Am7-5 D7 Lowfat this and diet that. Oh, this salad tastes like sand to me! Gm Bbm7 F I used to love the weekend. Now the days are all the same. D7 G I want to ask for dressing, but I can’t recall the name. C F A I guess I’ll live without it, ‘cause it’s almost time for bed. [Bridge] Dm Bb A Dm I used to ride in fancy cars. Dm Bb A Dm Enjoyed martinis and cigars. Dm Bb A Dm Bb A The only limit was the stars. Gm Eb7 D7 Gm Took trips to Spain and Amsterdam, Eb7 D7 Gm But that existence was a sham. Eb7 D7 Gm C Caug Those days are gone and here I am. [Verse] F E7 I love my family, but now their every visit confuses me. F Am7-5 D7 The TV’s the only thing I have left which amuses me. Gm Bbm7 F And when I read the paper, there’s always something new. D7 G I can’t keep up with changes the way I used to do. C F C Caug It’s going by too fast. I think I’ll take a nap instead. [Instrumental] F F E7 E7 F F Am7-5 D7 Gm Bm F D7 G7 C F A7 [Bridge] Dm Bb A Dm I know that time is running out, Bb A Dm ‘cause on that score I have no doubt. Bb A Dm Bb A I’ve seen what life is all about. Gm Eb7 D7 Gm But no one else is much impressed. Eb7 D7 Gm I’m on this planet as a guest Eb7 D7 Gm C Caug Until the day I’m laid to rest. [Verse] F E7 Someday I’ll end up in a place where everybody will be nice to me. F Am7-5 D7 They’ll understand I’m hard of hearing and they’ll say everything twice to me. Gm Bbm7 F And I’ll be young and handsome, the way I was before. D7 G I won’t need medication to function anymore. C Am7-5 D7 My sanity and safety won’t be hanging by a thread. G C F C Caug I’ll walk into the light just like they always said. [Outro] F E7 F Am7-5 D7 F E7 F Am7-5 D7 [To Fadeout]
