Folk always told me that my heart would grow

C             F        C                G
The older the man yeah the stronger the stone

Am G F        C
Am I losing my mind

             F              C
Am I growing backwards with time

C            F       C                    G
Some say with age that our purpose comes clear

C         F        C         G
I see the opposite happening here

Am  G  F          C
Are we losing the fight

C              F              C
Are we growing backwards with time

Am    G         F        C
I was young and love was fun

C          G    C
Now its so serious

Am         G       F     C
Now all my fun has equal pain

                 G          C
Theres something wrong with this

Am        G           F      C
For all I know theres more I don’t

C             G      C
Oh the little I have learned

Am        G       F          C
For every year of knowledge gained

              G        C
Is a negative year ive earned

C           F            C               G
Folk always told me that my heart would grow

C             F            C            G
The older the man yeah the stronger the stone

C
Am I losing my mind
