This is the first thing I've ever done on here but this song is amazing and especially poignant today after the
news of Terry Pratchett's passing.
G D F#m D You made me older than my years G A D I am young and barely grown G D F#m D And when I cry, I cry your tears G A D for I have no life of my own. A D G D Why don't you write me some candlelight G D A and wear your heart of gold? A D G A and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years A D G A D 'Til one day I shall wear midnight. G D F#m D And if you should scream from your darkest dream G A D In a whisper you'll hear me call G D F#m D And for a while I'll be sweet sixteen G A D and I'll have no power at all. A D G D Why don't you write me a moonlight night G D A and wear your finest hour A D G A and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years A D G A D 'Til one day I shall wear midnight. D G A I am young, you are old, A D but you're not heartless and cold D G A D I am warm from the love that you've shown D G D but you conjured me up D A D from your hat full of dreams D G A D and you keep me in a world of your own A D G D Why don't you write me a guiding light G D A and wear your heart's desire? A D G A and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years A D G A D 'Til one day I shall wear midnight. G D F#m D And when you lay down on your final word, G A D it will be no comfort to me. G D F#m D I have lived by the pen and I’ll die by the sword, G A D when it’s time to set me free. A D G D Why don’t you write me a gallant knight G D A and wear your honour and sword A D G A and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years A D G A D 'Til one day I shall wear midnight. A D G A D One day I shall wear midnight A D G A D 'Til one day we shall wear midnight.
