Growing Old Chords by Malcolm & Alwyn

[F] [C] Close your eyes my [Bb] _
child, _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ it's been a long [Bb] hard day.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] Your mommy _ _ says that [Bb] you're much too rough _ _ _ when [F] you're out at play. _ _ _ _ _
I was just a little boy [Bb] like you are, _ _ _ _
[F] _ but I was a rebel at my [Bb] school. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] Sticking bubble gum _ _ down the [Bb] _ inkwell, _ _ _ _ [F] and writing _ silly rhymes [Bb] upon my rule. _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ Goodbye _ _ _ my dear [Bb] _ father, _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
you lived a good [Bb] long life,
_ _ _ _ but you [F] left us _ all much [Bb] too quickly.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] My, _ _ my, my how [Bb] time _ _ flies, _ _ [F] still never _ mind my [Bb] faithful mother.
_ Dry _ _ _ [F] _
_ those _ _ heartbroken [Bb]
tears, _ _ _ _ _ [F] I'll do the best _ _ that [Bb] I can dear. _ _ _
[F] But I can never bring you back [Bb] those fifty _ _ _ _ _ [F] happy _ years. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Time _ must [Bb] go on, _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ like the sun must surely sink [Bb] from the sky. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ Time, _ _ it waits not [Bb] for any man. _ _ _ _
[F] Comes the day when we all must say [Bb] goodbye. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ We're all subject to the [Bb] same, _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[F] and time is creeping _
[Bb] _ still.
_ _ _ _ [F]
Though we pretend it just [Bb] doesn't happen that way.
_ _ _ [F] The hours _ we _ [Bb] just live to fill.
_ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ Goodbye my [Bb] dear _ _ _ father, _ _
[F] _ _ we're all traveling down [Gm] your road.
[Bb] _ _ _ _
No [F] matter _ how _ we may [Bb] struggle, _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ every one of us [Bb] is surely _ _ _ _ _ [F] growing old. _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
