When I grow old will my eyes be blue?
Hair stay blonde, no missing teeth
Drive around in fancy cars
See pretty girls and nice guitars
Learn a language, find some work
See New York, not for Google Earth
A great big world, not for blue walls
What seems so small when I grow tall
When I grow tall, when I grow tall
When I grow old I'll find your heart
I promise mine, just give me part
And I don't need no house, no car
I have your hand and all you are
And I can't promise diamond rings
I'll build a castle brick by brick
And where we go we'll spin a globe
See where it lands and build a home
[G#m]
We'll build a home, we'll build a home
We'll build a home, we'll [A#m] build a life
You're down from Earth
[G#] So the nights we fight we hurt we'll [D#m] be alright
[F#] Cause I'm alive [D#m] tonight, in the [G#] sky tonight
Way [C#] up high tonight, she said
Will it be cold, will it be cold?
I lose my love, I live alone
My legs don't work, these breaking [G#] bones
But look above and let me know
Will you leave flowers at my stone?
[C#]
Will you leave flowers at my stone?
When I grow old I'll hold your skin
And put my life here where she stands
And all I own is yours to have
Born in arms and raised a hand
I'll share my eyes, my ears with you
We raised on beetles and bowed to one
Keep a [G#] smile just like your mum's
And call me dad, I'll call you son
[C#] [G#]
And [C#] we'll grow old, yeah we'll grow old
Yeah we'll grow old, yeah we [A#m] spent
40 years on Earth, my [G#] daddy's gone
It really hurts, I [F#] wonder why
I'm alive [G#] tonight, in the sky tonight
Way up high [C#] tonight, she said
[F#] [C#]
Will it be cold, will it be [F#] cold?
[G#]
I lose my love, I [C#] live alone
[F#]
[C#] My legs don't work, these breaking bones
But look above and let me know
Will you leave flowers at my stone?
[D#]
Will [G#] you leave flowers [C#] at my stone?
[G#] [A#m] And as her eyes [G#] begin to fade
I'll sit beside her [F#] where she lay
And hold me close, don't [G#] let this go
This ain't no home, this [A#m] ain't no home
And watch my hair turn [G#] gold to grey
Sweet sixteen, take [F#] my breath away
And leave me lonely [G#] in this home
And I'll lay [C#] flowers at your [F#] stone
I'll [C#] cry by flowers at your [F#] stone
I'll [C#] bop by flowers at your [D#m] stone
[F#]
And [G#] I'll lay flowers at your stone
Just [F#] look above and let me know
I'll [G#] lay by flowers [C#] at your stone

Just [F#] look above and let me know
