What's it gonna be?
Okay, well this is a song called, uh,
[Em] _ _
I Was Always Young.
It goes like this. _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ I was [B] always young.
_ _ _ The pictures mean [Em] so much now.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] Photos of those friends that [D] we knew. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] Who said they'd keep [D] in touch.
_ But [Am] they never called us [D] _ much.
[F#] _ _
_ _ I'm doing [B] very well. _
[Em] While my looks have gone to hell. _
[F#] But what's really strange
[E] is how little you have _ _ changed.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [F#] I've grown old [Bm] missing you.
_ _ [A] _ _ [Am] Grown old [G] stuck in the past.
_ _ [A#] The [Gm] future must [G] have stopped somewhere.
_ [F#]
Maybe it was [Bm] never [B] there.
[A] But I've [D] grown old [G] at last.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
You were always [B] young. _ _ _
Your pictures stayed so [Em] faithful. _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ I [G] never saw those friends that we [D] knew. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] Who called out of [D] the blue.
_ _ [Am] They asked how they could [D] reach you.
_ [F#] _ _ _ They said they're [B] doing very well.
_ While [Em] our friendship went to hell.
_ [F#] But I couldn't bear to say
_ [F#] that I've missed you [E] every [D] day.
_ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] I've grown old missing you.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [A] Grown old stuck in [G] the past. _ _
[A#] The [D#] future _ _ _ [G] must have stopped somewhere.
_ [F#] _ Maybe it was never [D] there.
_ [A] But [Am] I've grown [A]
old [G] at _ _ last. _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ Your picture never [B] speaks.
_ _ _ It never gets [Em] much clearer.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Am]
When _ [G] magnified it never brings [D] you _ nearer. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] Through all those [D] empty years.
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ Water [D] marked with tears.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ It's [B] held up very well.
_ While my life has [Em] gone to hell.
_ [F#] But what's really strange
_ is how little _ I [Em] _ [D] have _ [F#] changed.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ I've [F#] grown old missing you.
[F#m] _ _ [Am] _ _
[D] Grown old stuck in [G] the past. _
[A#] The future _ must [G] have stopped somewhere.
_ [F#] Maybe it was [D] never there.
[Am] _ But I've [D] grown old [G] at _ last. _ _ _
