[G] [D]
[A] [C] [G] [D]
When I got to [A] New York City [C] I was looking [G] for another [D] side of life
And my feet were [A] so damn calloused [C] I could probably [G] walk the edges [D] of a knife
[Bm] My mistakes had [E] often led me [C] to believe I'll never [G] find an open [D] door
[A]
[D] Now I'm busted, [E] flat and broken And I don't [G] know what the hell I'm waiting [D]
for
Someone could see that [A] I was stumbling And a couple [G] even stopped to lend a [D] hand
Most would pass me [A] by and ridicule And fail to [G] recognize a fellow man
Now [Bm] the wind is growing bitter [C] And the leaves [G] begin to die and start to fall
[A]
[D] I wonder if next summer [C] if I'll even [G] be around this [D] place at all
[A] If I could go [G] back to the days when [D] I was young I'd [E] travel the whole [G] world over in [D] the sun
And [Bm] I'd come back to you [C] with a never [G]-lasting lily in [D] my hand
[A]
[D] And I'd show the world just what [C] it means to me, [G] for me to get to [D] be old man
[A] [G]
[D]
On the edges of [E] some [C] faded afternoon I [G] heard a voice [D] within my head
And the echoes of forgotten [C] words of all the [G] dusty books I haven't read
And [B] I wondered if by chance [C] I should have listened [G] back to what they [D] said in school
If [A]
[D] it occurred to me [E] I might have [C] been the class clown [G] then but now I'm [D] just a fool
[A] If I could go [G] back to the [D] days when I was young [E]
I'd travel the whole [G] world over in the [D] sun
[Bm] And I'd come back to you [C] with a never [G]-lasting lily [D] in my hand
[A]
[D] And I'd show the world [E] just what it means to me, [G] for me to get to be old [D] man
And I'd show the world [E] just what [C] it means to me, [G] for me to get to be [D] old man
