[Verse 1]
E A E
When we were young, we got too old
(E) B E
Never did what we were told
(E) A E
I can have and I can hold
(E) B E
But I can't buy what I just sold

[Chorus]
E A E A
Smile, won't you, won't you smile?
E B A E
Haven't seen it for a while
(E) A E A
Stay, won't you, won't you stay?
E B A E
I don't mean that that way
[Verse 2]
We had fun, so time went fast
You don't hop on; it goes right past
The water's high; it's overcast
You're a rotten egg if you're in last
[Chorus]
[Bridge]

And I'll leave you with this song

But please do come along
B A E
And bring your smile with you

[Verse 3]
So raise a glass to all that's good
To everything that we withstood
And there'll be walls, but I think we could
knock 'em down, and for firewood
[Chorus] (x2)
I don't mean that that way
I don't mean that that way
I don't mean that that way
