[Intro]
| C | C | D7sus2 | D7sus2 | C | C |
[Verse 1]
D7sus2 C
When I was young, younger than before
D7sus2 C
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
Em D7sus2
And now I'm older, see it face to face
Em D7sus2
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
[Instrumental]
| C | C | D7sus2 | D7sus2 | C | C |
[Verse 2]
D7sus2 C
And I was green, greener than the hill
D7sus2 C
Where flowers grew and the sun shone still
Em D7sus2
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Em D7sus2
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
[Instrumental]
| C | C | D7sus2 | D7sus2 | C | C |
[Verse 3]
D7sus2 C
And I was strong, strong in the sun
D7sus2 C
I thought I'd see when day was done
Em D7sus2
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Em D7sus2
Oh so weak in this need for you
[Outro]
| C | C | D7sus2 | D7sus2 | C |
