[Bb]
It's true that I used to be [Gm] crazy and [Cm] harder to love than [F] most men.
But [Bb] the blood that [Dm] ran [Gm] through these tired old hands [Cm] was hotter and wilder [F] back then.
I [Bb] don't feel as tall [Gm] as I used to.
[Cm] Maybe it's just that [F] you've grown.
[Bb] You're the one [Dm] that held [Gm] my hand when I fell, [Cm] when I just couldn't make [F] it alone.
[Eb]
I've lived [Bb] down all the stories, [Eb]
I've sang [Bb] all the old songs.
[Eb]
It takes one [Bb] to know me, [F]
I guess [Bb] you're the one.

My daughters are ladies [Gm] of fortune, [Cm] my son is an heir to [F] the throne.
[Bb] And this crown that I hold [Gm] is tarnished and cold, [Cm] but it's a symbol of all that [F] I own.
[Bb]
Sometimes I wish I [Gm] was younger [Cm] and could pick up the pieces [F] and run.
[Bb] But then I [Dm] look back [Gm] on the matter of fact, [Cm] and it's a race that I've [F] already won.

I've sang all [Bb] the old songs.
