_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] I'd had a bad night.
I mean, not so bad I thought I was king of the world. _ _
_ _ And I dragged his whole day to life.
I mean, I never stopped once until my hands finally fell.
_ _ And [Cm] I fought my daytime self [Eb] with a mighty dose of, hey, look [Ab] at nighttime me. _
_ _ And I never did win [Cm] that battle. _
[Bbm] But I [Ebm] fighted over and [Ab] over and over and over and over and _ _ I saw an old man _
[Db] smiling [Eb] on a park bench [Ab] feeding the pigeons. _ _
_ _ My head was spinning.
My [Db] young body ached.
[Eb] I wished for an [Ab] old man's vision. _
_ _ And I [Cm] watched the way he moved, slow, serene and lucky to [Ab] be alive. _ _
_ _ _ Thought to [Cm] myself, never going to make it that [Bb] far.
Too many more nights [Ab] like last night. _
_ _ And I'd rather be 75 and sudden than [Eb] act like I'm [Ab] 17 and freezing again.
_ _ I'd rather be up early [Cm] in the morning [Eb] than up late at night
again [Ab] erasing memories of where I've been.
_ _ _ [Db] Or to be through at 52 [Eb] someday, stone faced, bleary eyed.
[Ab] _
_ _ You better believe I'm living for the moment, but my moments grow bigger by and by. _ _
_ _ And I got a best friend. _ _
[Db] She don't [Eb] drink the smoke like [Ab] I've been known. _ _ _
_ _ She's got religion. _ _
She's a one woman dynamo and lights up every room she goes. _
_ _ She [Cm] says the light that's there [Eb] won't [Bb] go [Eb] nowhere, [Ab] no way. _ _
_ _ She don't spend [Cm] every second smiling, [Bb] but she learned [Eb] something exciting [Ab] every day. _ _
_ _ She'd rather be 75 and sudden than 29 with a chance of showers all the time.
_ _ _ [Cm] She'd rather be old as dirt _ [Bb] than [Eb] new as [Ab] any nine dollar bottle of _ wine.
_ [Eb] Or to be [Db] thought at 35, [Ab] mama stone with her back to the wind. _ _
_ _ _ [Db] Better believe she's living for the moment, [Eb] but her moment [Db] is the whole [Ab] damn thing. _ _
_ _ And I [Gm] see these spin kids _
[Eb] double wide out [Bb] rolling and rolling and tumbling. _
_ _ They're roaming in inches, _ [Eb] taking a high dive [F] approach and screaming [Eb] towards the [Bb] wall. _ _
_ _ [Eb] Their [Gm] hearts race a million miles [Cm] as they buy another smile [Bb] from a jar. _ _
_ _ [Eb] Their bodies are [D] screaming for the water.
[Cm] _ You know, I just hope [Bb] they can make it that far. _
_ _ [Eb] I hope they're 75 and sudden, [F] not [Cm] 29 with a [Bb] chance of flurries all the time.
_ _ I [D] hope they're old as dirt, [Cm] _ not new as every [C] $25 ride that we [Bb] try.
_ _ _ [Eb] Or to be thought at 35, [F] mama stone with my back [A] to the [Gm] wind. _
_ _ [Eb] You better believe I'm living for the moment, [F] but my moment's [Eb] on the whole [Bb] damn thing. _ _
_ _ And I [Db] say I'd rather be 75.
Oh, how nice.
[G] How easy for [Ab] me to say. _ _ _
_ _ I've [Db] never broken a bone in my life, let alone had my [Ab] heart or a hip replaced. _ _
_ And I keep [G] this fury at pace.
_ _ [Ab] And I still feel so good and strong. _
_ And I do get [Fm] tempted for a taste, just a taste.
_ [Eb] Keep it going, going, [Cm] _
[Eb] going, going, going, going. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But [Ab] I got a notion that _ everything I learned with coming around _ _ _ _ and my devotion to the new thing,
[Db] the next [Eb] thing and the hip thing is slowing [Ab]
down.
_ _ _ And I got a light [Cm] in here [Eb] won't go nowhere, [Ab] no way.
_ _ _ _ And I don't [C] spend every [Cm] second [Bb] smiling, but I'm learning [Eb] something exciting every [Ab] day.
_ _ _ _ So I'd rather be 75 and sudden, _ _ 29 with a chance of showers all the time.
_ _ I'd rather [Cm] be old and in the way _ [Bb] than this year's new [Eb] kid [Ab] running for my life.
_ _ Or to [Db] be through with 52 [Ab] someday, stone faced and bleary eyed.
_ _ [Cm] _ Better [Db] believe I'm never for the moment, but [Ab] my moment.
[Eb] _ [Db] Better believe I'm never for the moment, [Eb] but these moments.
You [Db] better believe I'm never for the moment, [Ab] but my moment's growing bigger by and by.
_ _ _ _ _ By and by.
_ _ _ _ _ By and by.
