    G ~ ~

 

            G                                             Am

1. The older I grow the more I know broken hearts don't mend,

        D                                                              G

    I hope you find the joy in your lives you’re looking for, my friends.

                          G                                                        Am

   When you’re cut and you bleed, find your need, on me you can depend,

      D

    pick up your shoes and bring me your blues

                      G

    and I'll be singing round the bend.

                G                                  Am

    It was nice to have known you anyway,

                             D                                               G

    you know, that all dreams like mine die in the same old way.

            G                                                  Am

    And every time you go, you take my breath away,

                     D                                   G

    it was so nice to have known you anyway.

 

            G                          Am                   D                            G

And I'll fly anywhere you are, you know, any distance, any star.

                G                          Am

You are part of everything I feel,

                 - D                                               G

you know,        I got wings, they’re on my heels.

 

                       G

2. When it's goodbye, my loves, I wish you good luck,

                             Am

    and don't you worry 'bout the rain.

                     D                                                     G

    when our time is up, oh, my loves, you won't owe me anything.

                      G                                   Am

    It was just nice to have known you anyway,

                             D                                              G

    you know, that all dreams like mine die in the same old way.

     G                                                  Am

    Every time you go, you take my breath away,

                     D                                        G

    it was so nice to have known you all anyway.

 

            G                          Am                   D                            G

And I'll fly anywhere you are, you know, any distance, any star.

                G                          Am

You are part of everything I feel,

                 - D                                               G

you know,        I got wings, they’re on my heels.

3. You know, the older I grow the more I know broken hearts don't mend,

              D                                                              G

    but I hope you find the joy in your lives you’re looking for, my friends.

                           G

    When you’re cut and you bleed, find your need,

          Am

    on this old man you can depend,

      D

    pick up your shoes and bring me your blues

                      G

    and I'll be singing just round the bend.

                G                                  Am

    It was nice to have known you anyway,

                     D                                               G

    you know all dreams like mine die in the same old way.

             G                                                               Am

    And every time you go, every time you go, you take my breath away,

                      D                                        G

    but it was nice to have known you all anyway.

 

            G                          Am                   D                                  G

And I'll fly anywhere you are, you know, any distance, any old star.

                G                          Am

You are part of everything I feel,

                - D                                  G

you know,      I got wings on my heels.       +  Instrumental = CHORUS
