VERSE 1:
G
Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old.
D
All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold.
Am G
All the kids are talking slang I won�t pretend to understand.
D A D
All my friends are getting married, mortgages and pension plans.
G
And it�s obvious my angry adolescent days are done.
D
And I�m happy and I�m settled in the person I�ve become.
Am G
But that doesn�t mean I�m settled up and sitting out the game-
A D
Time may change a lot. But some things they stay the same.

VERSE 2:
G
Oh, maturity�s a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems.
D
Ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams.
Am G
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
D A D
have to grow up, be an adult. Yeah, be bored and unfulfilled.
G
But no one�s yet explained to me exactly what�s so great
D
about slaving 50 years away on something that you hate.
Am G
About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity.
A D
Well if that�s your road then take it but it�s not the road for me.
