[Verse 1]
F C G
I don’t feel like time is slipping through my hands
Amin F
The glass is never empty in my master plan
C G
I still think it’s alright crying one too many tears
Amin F
I ‘m not worried about the future and my advancing years
C G
I don’t give a damn, ‘cos I am what I am
[Chorus 1]
C F C
But the man upstairs is painting with a different brush today
C F G
Where there used to be all black now there’s little flecks of grey
C G Amin D
And while I’m trying to make some sense of it the laughter takes a hold
C G Amin G C
I’m the same age that my father was when I first thought he was old
[Verse 2]
F C G
I don’t want to work my fingers to the bone
Amin F
Me I’d rather drink wine with you back at home
C G
I don’t want to think about what car the neighbours bought
Amin F
I ‘m happy just to sit here laughin’ on the porch
C G
And I don’t really care what they got over there
[Chorus 2]
C F C
I tried to run a mile today I maybe should have walked
C F G
My head had the ambition but my body was all talk
C G Amin D
And while I’m trying to make some sense of it the laughter takes a hold
C G Amin G C
I’m the same age that my father was when I first thought he was old

You hate what I wear...but I’m too old to care
[Chorus 3]
C F C
I tried to waltz you round the room like some lovesick fool
C F G
But the kids said “please don’t shame us Dad, your dancing’s so uncool”
C G Amin D
And while I’m trying to make some sense of it the laughter takes a hold
C G Amin G C
I’m the same age that my father was when I first thought he was old
C G Amin G C
