[Verse 1]
C G Age has made her frail F G I'm scared to take her in my arms Am Em But there's an understanding now F C And a peace behind the eyes F C And age is for complaining Dm7 C But you won't hear much from me G F C Growing old with Naomi
[Verse 2]
C G Now I recall the first time F G I took her in my arms Am Em At times I was unfaithful F C She said: "no future in the past" F C So we don't talk about it Dm7 C She keeps a gentle edge on me G F C I don't mind growing old with Naomi
[Chorus]
F G She wasn't all I wanted Am Em F But she's all I'll ever need C G Oh, a rich man always wants some more F G And I was rich indeed F C A rich man and a poor fool Dm C Yet it turned out right for me C G How lucky can you get? F C Growing old with Naomi
[Verse 3]
C G The kids today, they think that they've F G Discovered everything Am Em But me and her, well we'd done it all F C Without a wedding ring F C Sometimes things remind us Dm7 C And she's smiling back at me G F C It ain't hard growing old with Naomi

[Verse 4]
C G Oh, the place is kind of quiet now F G The kids have all left home Am Em G We'd like to see more of them F C But we're grateful when they call F C And in the quietness afterwards Dm7 C She comes and sits by me G Make me feel like a man F C Growing old with Naomi G Make me feel like a man F C Growing old with Naomi
