                                          B7Em*
Since I've known you we've always been together 
And in Bthat time the love we shared -  we G7vowed would last forever 
                                  CEbm7* 
Yet marriage is a subject you approve 
 D*                               E*
providing it has nothing whatsoever to do with you 
And much as AmI respect that view - i have tBmo state my case 
Though I'm fCar from being ovBmer-the-hill 
It occFurs to me with each pC7as-C7sing D7day 
Refrain:
That IAm'm not gettDing any BmyoungEmer - God Amknows it wasCmn't my idea G  G7  
            C7                             B7        Em7Am*
The years that used to take  - An eternity to make

Are now passing at what seems   -    like one a week. 
Strophe:
                                B7Em*
If only we'd have met when I was your age 
I woulBdn't have this awful fear  - I G7get when I leave your place 
                                  CEbm7*
You don't know how upsetting it can be 
   D*                                             E*
To hear you talk of future plans  - None of which seem to include me 
Blue jeans and Amhigh heel boots are great course
I Bmstill wear mine quite a bit 
But it's nCow more apparent than eBmver before 
DespiFte keeping myself fC7airC7-ly  D7fit 
Refrain:
That IAm'm not gettDing any BmyoungEmer 
Even those Amgrey hairs are now sCmtarting to appGear G7  
And there are lC7ines under my B7eyes 
                        Em7Am*
That never used to be this size
                        GCm*                      B        Em  
Even though it could be due         -  to lack of sleep 
Something teAmlls me that it's mDore to do with passing yBbearsC. C  C  G

Strophe:
                                          B7Em*
At times I think perhaps it would be better 
If ratBher than go on this way posted you G7a letter
                                  CEbm7*
Explaining in great detail why I feel 
D*                                              E*
The way things are between us - Suits you much more than it suits me
You have you Amwhole life ahead of you - Well Bmdamn it I also have mine 
And unless CI am by nature a freak  Bm- 
There's Fno mistaking those C7dead-C7ly sD7igns
