D G D E G D
Line one, Is the time, That you, You first stayed over at mine
E G D A G D
And we drank our first bottle of wine, And we cried
D G D E G D
Two, We're away, And we both, We both had nowhere to stay
E G D A G D D
Well the bus shelters always okay, When you're young
D G D G
Now you're older and I look at your face, Every wrinkle is so easy to place
D Bm A A
And I only write them down just in case, That you die
A D Bm G A
Just take a look at these crows feet Just look, Sitting on the prettiest eyes
D Bm G A
Sixty twentyfifth of Decembers, Fiftynine Fourth of July's
G A D Bm
Not through the age or the failure children, Not through the hate or despise
D Bm A D
Take a good look at these crows feet, Sitting on the prettiest eyes *RIFF*
D G D E G D
Line three, I forget, But I think, I think it was our first ever bet
E G D A G D
And the horse we backed was short of a leg, Nevermind
D G D E G D
Four, In a park, And the things, The things that people do in the dark
E G D A G D D
I could hear the faintest beat of your heart, Then we did
D G D G
Now you're older and I look at your face, Every wrinkle is so easy to place
D Bm A A
And I only write them down just in case, You should die
A D Bm G A
Just take a look at these crows feet Just look, Sitting on the prettiest eyes
D Bm G A
Sixty twentyfifth of Decembers, Fiftynine Fourth of July's
G A D Bm
You can't have too many good times children, You can't have too many lines
D Bm A D
Take a good look at these crows feet, Sitting on the prettiest eyes *RIFF*
D G D
Well my eyes look like a map, Of the town
D G D
And my teeth are either yellow, Or they're brown
G A D Bm
But you'll never hear the crack of a frown when you are here
G A D G D G D
You'll never hear the crack, Of a frown, Of a frown, Of a frown
