    old flames at the party        have started leaving early.

    Up before the sunrise,         looking after young lives,

C                                      - Em

    Dust that never settles        on that golden record.

Oh, what are you afraid of now ?

  Am                                                      C

Worried you might be finally happy, strange as it sounds.

   G                                   F

Leave everything at the door,

  Am                                                          C

maybe it's heaven and you just haven't been herе before.

    and your best friend's daughter,       she's still getting taller.

    Measuring out their lives with          every passing school year

Bm                                                 C

    while you're on album number nine.

    Dust that never settles          on that silver record.

Leave everything at the door,

  Am                                                          C

maybe it's heaven and you just haven't been herе before.
