C               A              Dm
There's no such thing as me or you

Just the feeling someone had

When they saw shadows on the wall

There's no such thing as old or new

       G                                 Am  A
'cause everything's been said and done before

Dm      A                 F
No such thing as rock and roll

        E                C   F C
No such thing as growing old
[Verse 2]
C                A         Dm
When the picture starts to fade

You'll hear the clowns and watch them cry

    Em
The great mistakes they've made

C        A                    Dm
When the lights have all gone down (down, down, down)

You'll marvel at the speed that things turn round

        E                Am
No such thing as growing old

           E             C
Things are way beyond control

          G    A
I've been told
[Bridge]

Try to cut you down

          F#m
Take your soul away

Cut you down

Try to break your heart

Take your soul away

Break your heart

C                        Dm
If you make it to the end

       G
You'll find you didn't try that hard

   Em
It wasn't such a strain

C                           Dm
And all those death defying deeds

        G
Weren't necessary

                   Am    A
It's really such a shame

Dm              A               F
'cause all I've got is rock and roll

         E              Am
All I'll get is growing old

           E             C
Things are way beyond control

              G   A
And I've been told
