ACaught in my mirror, the Esun
DStares with his one crazy Eeye
From a burning blue Dsky
And we walked on and on
EDarlin’ you turned twenty Aone

ATryin’ to get everything Edone
DOut in the distance the Ehaze
And the long summer Ddays
And they beat like a drum
EDarlin’ you turned twenty Aone
A Asus4 A
EAll that (pause) Dthis heart of mine
ECould never mainDtain
EI felt like (pause) Dit never would Echange
Then AI was alone in your Eroom
DYou’d been out spending my Etime
Where the flowers of Dcrime
Hide away in the gloom
EI was left thinking of Ayou
A Asus4 A
Instrumental
EYou got back (pause) Dand I just sat
EWhile you lied in my Dface
ELooking back (pause) Don a world turned to Ewaste
ANow that it’s over and goEne

On some broad aveDnue
With the night coming on
EDarlin’ you turned twenty Aone
A Asus4 A Asus2 A
