D G F#m
Don't feel bad if you wake up feeling suddenly old
G Gm D A7
More the realisation that you've let yourself be covered by mould
D G F#m
Age is not something you wrap up if you're feeling the cold
G Gm D A7
It's a laugh ten times harder at a joke eleven times told
G Gm
Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults
D B7
Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts
G Gm
No better reminder, no strong enough salts
D
To show this pitiful few
A7 D
that we've missed the last waltz
A7 D A7
that we've missed the last waltz
Don't feel bad if you're feeling past you sell-by date
Like the roller coaster ride slowed down to a serious debate
Oh the weather you tell them you're ready or whether you wait
Does someone place a hand on your shoulder you point the way to the gate
Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults
Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts
No better reminder, no strong enough salts
To show this pitiful few
that we've missed the last waltz
A7 D D7
that we've missed the last waltz
(then same chords as chorus, but different melody:)
G Gm
You don't count the birthdays 'til your out on your own
D B7
They come thicker and faster and too damn late to postpone
G Gm
And wisdom's the last thing the scientists willing to clone
D A7 D
Science advances, maturity dances alone
G Gm D B7 G Gm
D A7 D
Science advances, maturity dances alone
If you are singing, the B7 is best played this way, to sound better with your voice:

Unscrew the bolts
