I thought of the things I'd do

Years ago,
F
I dreamt of the girl I'd love

Am
When I grew older
Em
to be the young man
F

Em                      Am
to take my place in the world

Am          F
Lonely...lonely..
Em         Am
Lonely...lonely
                     F
I'm a lonely, lonely man

Am
I grew up.
F
Went up walk and left my dreams.
Am
I grew up
F
Found than life has hidden sides
Am
I grew up
F
Tested things with my own hands

Am
Then I met the young girl,

To share my story,

As years passed

I learnt that love doesn't fast.

As yeras passed,
F
I saw life's not what it seems.

As years passed,

But my dreams grew sadder,
Em
And know I feel old.
F
My heart has grown cold,
Em                       Am
And the story's told of my life.
