C                    ~ Am
Letters need sending

                   D
The kitchen's a disgrace

Am                    D
Grease all over the place
[VERSE 2:]
  G
I see your pretty picture

            C                   ~ Am
The one you gave me last Easter

                D
Has a moustache drawn in green

           Am                     D
Where your lipstick should have been
[CHORUS:]
    G                            Em         C     Am
You never think of time, 'til it passes you by

               D     Am                  D
Never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry

    G                              Em          C       Am
You never count the days, 'til the nights grow cold

Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old
[VERSE 3:]
    G
The ashtrays are brimful

   C                  ~ Am
My secrets are sinful

              D
And I drink a lot now

         Am               D
It's the only friend I've got now
[VERSE 4:]
    G
I'd write you a letter

              C                  ~ Am
But there's a hole in my sweater

              D
And I need to mend it

     Am                        D
So I wouldn't have the time to send it
[CHORUS:]
    G                            Em         C     Am
You never think of time, 'til it passes you by

Never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry

    G                              Em          C       Am
You never count the days, 'til the nights grow cold

                   D              Am             D
Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old
[VERSE 5:]
  G
I could not live with you

         C                   ~ Am
But it's so hard without you

               D
I'm a helpless case

  Am               D
A misfit social disgrace
[VERSE 6:]
G
Maybe next century

     C                 ~ Am
I'll come to my senses

                    D
Work out the reason why

    Am                             D
You never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry
[CHORUS:]

Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old
