intro: E Esus4 E A9 A9sus4 A9 C G D (repeat)
 
E A9 E B E
We've been crippled in love, short changed, hung out to dry
E A9 E B7sus4 B7
We've chalked on the walls a slogan or two about life
A9 A9sus4 A9 E A9
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns
E A9 C#m B7sus4 B7
We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down
 
Em G#m A9 E
So please, please, let me grow old with you
G#m C#m E/B B
After everything we've been through, what's left to prove
A9 C E A9 E B
so please, please, please, oh please let me grow old with you
 
repeat intro here
 
We've been living with sorrow, been up, down and all around
We've buried our feelings a little too deep in the ground
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns
We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down
 
C#m G#7
But tied to the same track, the two of us look back
A9 E
At oncoming trains ahead
G#m C#m
How many more times can we lay on the line
D B7
Watching our love hang by a thread
 
A9 C E A9 E B
so please, please, please, oh please let me grow old with you
 
outro is same as intro
