D G F#m
don’t feel bad if you wake up feeling suddenly old
G Gm D A7
more the realisation that you’ve let yourself be covered by mould
D G F#m
age is not something you wrap up if you’re feeling the cold
G Gm D A7
it’s a laugh ten times harder at a joke eleven times told
G Gm
down to the churchyard , check out the vaults
D B7
dig up the coffins , unscrew the bolts
G Gm
no better reminder , no strong enough salts
D
to show this pitiful few
A7 D
that we’ve missed the last waltz
A7 D A7
that we’ve missed the last waltz
don’t feel bad if you’re feeling past you sell – by date
like the roller coaster ride slowed down to a serious debate
oh the weather you tell them you’re ready or whether you wait
does someone place a hand on your shoulder you point the way to the gate
down to the churchyard , check out the vaults
dig up the coffins , unscrew the bolts
no better reminder , no strong enough salts
to show this pitiful few
that we’ve missed the last waltz
A7 D D7
that we’ve missed the last waltz
( then same chords as chorus , but different melody : )
G Gm
you don’t count the birthdays ’til your out on your own
D B7
they come thicker and faster and too damn late to postpone
G Gm
and wisdom’s the last thing the scientists willing to clone
D A7 D
science advances , maturity dances alone
G Gm D B7 G Gm
D A7 D
science advances , maturity dances alone
if you are singing , the B7 is best played this way , to sound better with your voice :
B7 b7addC B7
unscrew the bolts
