Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
                             G
When you are old and gone away

                       D
Will you remember me today

                        Em
With youth still in my eyes

                        C
And wild hair across my face?

                               G
When you are old and gone from me

                       D
Will you remember how I speak

                        Em
With that confidence of children

                      C
And that noble lack of sleep?

                            G
When you're old and someone new

                        D
Will you think of how my shoes

                                 Am
All tattered, drag themselves beside you

                      C
As we're walking home from school?
C Em Am [Bridge]
       Em       C           C Em Am
Been making myself

     Em           C          C Em Am
So sick with the truth

      Em     C             C Em Am
But I realize now

     Em               C
Our lovе is made of youth
[Chorus]
             G    D    Am
When we grow up

                  G           D              Am
I will brеak my promises and you'll fall out of love

                  G     D     Am 
We will not grow old

  C
together
[Verse 2]
                        G
When you're aged and away

                           D
Will you think of me the day

                         Em
That we skipped a day of classes

                               C
To act like lovers in the rain?

                              G
And when you're taken by the years

                          D
Will you recall me thus my dear

                           Em
A skinny figure at your doorway

                                C
Legs like spindles, stiff with fear?

                             G
And when we've up and grown apart

                        D
Will you remember how the art

                       Am
Used to fall out of my fingers

                           C
Into sketchbooks in the park?
C Em Am [Bridge]
         Em         C    C Em Am
And I'm aging my soul

     Em  C           C Em Am
I'm so high-strung

         Em      C       C Em Am
'Cause I realize now

             Em              C
This kind of love is for the young
[Chorus]
             G    D    Am
When we grow up

                  G           D              Am
I will break my promises and you'll fall out of love

                  G     D     Am
We will not grow old

  C
together
[Verse 3]
                          G
And now I'm old and gone away

                         D
I still remember how your face

                               Em
Shone with youth and love and confidence

                   C         G
That you would always stay
