VERSE 2 (same chords):
My pop said I should be like him
My mom says I can live with them
I had to ask my little brother to lend me
Change for the bus 'til I see him again
I'm gettin’ drunk every day of the week
My ship sunk but it had no leak
A fortune teller on Bishop Street
She read my hand and the future is bleak
I'm tired of sitting upon the fence
I've got no self confidence
Why don't I have a circle of friends?
I'm so square they don't even pretend
CHORUS
And I Cdon't sing songs anymore
I Gdon't feel young anymore
And it's Amhard to conceal
That these tears that I cry are for GrealDm

VERSE 1:

Oh what's wrong with me

Dsus2 G

Said oh what's wrong with me

Am F

I know what I don't want to be

A dead end on the family tree

And I just lost my virginity

Dsus2 G Am

To a girl who won't remember me and I

Took her out on a shopping spree

Happiness never happened for free

Could it be that I imagined things

Dsus2 G

I'm just sad instead of heartbroken

Am F

She came home but she's leaving again

She's coming back but she won't say when

CHORUS:

And I don't sing songs anymore

I don't feel young anymore

And it's hard to conceal

That these tears that I cry are for real
