E
We are young we have
years ahead maybe we might fall in love
             F#m
or fall apart

          E
fall apart

         F#m
Before it ends well we

                 E
should try to start
[Chorus]
         Asus2
   So I’ll go

            B7            E
   But I’m telling you I don’t

          Asus2
   want to go

              Asus2               B7
   I could be stuck here and happy
[Verse]
E
There’s a puzzle I
work on endlessly and I’ve got all the sides and all the corners
               F#m
But there’s a space

               E
Oh there’s a space

            F#m
Lost some pieces I

           E 
can’t replace
[Chorus]
           Asus2
   So I’ll be

              B7           E
   But I’m telling you I don’t

          Asus2
   want to be

          Asus2            B7
   Just a wasted puzzle piece
[Verse]
E
We are old and our son
took the dog away and fair enough guess we’re
               F#m
tired all the time

          E
all the time

             F#m
and you know dogs they need

                E
ample time outside
[Chorus]
           Asus2
   So I’ll stay

           B7              E
   But I’m telling you I don’t

           Asus2
   want to stay

        Asus2         B7 
So I’ll brace myself against the wall

      E                Asus2
and hope to God that I don’t fall

   Asus2              B7
My bones are worn my hip won’t hold

          E
I used to be so young 

         Asus2
How did I get so old  

      Asus2                B7
Won’t you take my cane and hold my hand

          E          Asus2
You’re holding on to all I have

     Asus2             B7
just a basket full of memories

        E                 Asus2
and I am loosing more each day it seems 

       Asus2          B7
but if I can make it to the street 

              E
I’ll steal a car or a bike

              Asus2
whatever there is to steal

       Asus2            B7
and it might get cold I just don’t care

     E              Asus2
I’m going till I’m getting there

     Asus2                B7
I’ll ride my steed all through this town
till I.........
E
have looked

    Asus2
till I have found

     Asus2       B7
Your peaceful memory

Asus2               B7
Won’t you return to me

Asus2               B7
Won’t you return to me
