Ebm7*(8 10 8888)D* (3x0032)Am* (002213)Cm*(335453)E* (022030)Strophe:Em*Since I've known you we've always been togetherAnd in that time the love we shared - we vowed would last foreverEbm7*Yet marriage is a subject you approveD* E*providing it has nothing whatsoever to do with youAnd much as I respect that view - i have to state my caseThough I'm far from being over-the-hillIt occurs to me with each pas-sing dayRefrain:That I'm not getting any younger - God knows it wasn't my ideaAm*The years that used to take - An eternity to makeCm*Are now passing at what seems - like one a week.Strophe:Em*If only we'd have met when I was your ageI wouldn't have this awful fear - I get when I leave your placeEbm7*You don't know how upsetting it can beD* E*To hear you talk of future plans - None of which seem to include meBlue jeans and high heel boots are great courseI still wear mine quite a bitBut it's now more apparent than ever beforeDespite keeping myself fair-ly fitRefrain:That I'm not getting any youngerEven those grey hairs are now starting to appearAnd there are lines under my eyesAm*That never used to be this sizeCm*Even though it could be due - to lack of sleepSomething tells me that it's more to do with passing years.Strophe:Em*At times I think perhaps it would be betterIf rather than go on this way posted you a letterEbm7*Explaining in great detail why I feelD* E*The way things are between us - Suits you much more than it suits meYou have you whole life ahead of you - Well damn it I also have mineAnd unless I am by nature a freak -There's no mistaking those dead-ly signsRefrain:And I'm not getting any younger - Look closely now and you will seeAm*The rebel in his teens - Who thought all adults were obsceneCm*Is now somewhat disenchanted with the newsThat kids today have got no respect for his viewsRefrain:And I'm not getting any youngerGone are those days when school reports were all I fearedNow for the first time in my life I'm seeing something I don't likeBm*And am powerless to prevent from happeningOne day you'll find out for yourself just what I mean.
