I'll be the one

That stays 'till the end

                Dm
And I'll be the one

In a garden of roses

But will you still love me

When nobody wants me around

       Dm7
When I turn 81 and forget things

Will you still be proud?
[Verse 2]
               F
Cause I am the one

That waited this long

             Dm
And I am the one

                  Bbm9
That might get it wrong

                F
And I'll be the one

That will love you

The way I'm supposed to, girl

Will you still be proud?

Proud of me, of my short list of accomplishments

Me and my lack of new news

Me and my selfishness

Or me and myself wish you nothing but a happy new version of you
