Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]When I am old and [G]lonely
[D]Would you still be there [Bm]for me
[G]'Cause now[F#m] I have all of my[Em] streng[B]th
And [Em]you have all your [A]beauty

[Verse 2]
When [D]you're gold in Tim[G]buktu
[D]Will I still come look [Bm]for y[G]ou
[F#m]Let's swim in [Em]the deep [B]end
[Bm]Make it [Em]warm that [A]we can

[Verse 3]
[D]For [G]you, [D]for [G]me
[F#m]Buried [Em]in the deep e[B]nd
[Bm]Life is [Em]one big [A]weekend
[D]Youth!

[Verse 4]
One [G]day you have it and then
[D]Poof!
It's [G]gone with the wind
It's a kin [F#m]to the end
And no matter [B]how you fight it
How you light it [Bm],how you write it
Time [Em]is the pe[A]n ou[D]t of i[A]nk
[D]Poof, and [G]I'm a living proof
I used to [D]have it all young an[G]d uncool
These [F#m]days I hear on everything
[Bm]on delay[G][Bm]
[Em]'Cause I wear an air piece just
to [A]hear what [Em]he sa[A]y
When [D]my son visit,
I [G]don't know why I get livid
Maybe [D]I'm jealous of his age
My [G]memories vivid I was [F#m]just like him
[Em]Young [B]like him,
[Em]Had a mouth on me a [A]tongue like him
But [D]now I'm feeling [G]much weaker
Closest [D]thing to my heart is
[G]a mandatory gripper
[F#m]And my eyes ain't what
they [Em]used to be [B]either
But [Em]here's me singing
[D]promise from la [A]Vita
When [D]I am

[Verse 5]
old and [G]lonely
Would [D]you still be [G]there for me
'Cause [F#m]now I have all of[Em] my stre[B]ngth
An[Em]d you have all your [A]beauty
When [D]you're gold

[Verse 6]
in Tim[G]buktu
Will [D]I still come l[G]ook for you
[F#m]Let's swim in the [Em]deep [B]end
[Em]Make it warm that [A]we [Asus4]can[A]
[D]For you,

[Verse 7]
[G]for[D] me[G]
[F#m]Buried in the [Em]deep [B]end
[Em]Life is one big [A]weekend
[D]Push!

[Verse 8]
One [G]day you comin' and then
[D]Whoosh!
You'd be sur[G]prised how easy is
To be en[F#m]ticed and feasting life
[Em]Without the least of dreams suf[B]fice
So watch it [Em]fly fear to flight
So I'm busy [D]chasing a decent [A]size
[D]Tush! an[G]d I ain't never been a wuss
[D]Have more arms [G]than an octopus
[D]Those [F#m]days I n[Em]ever thought of old a[B]ge
I [Bm]never [Em]thought I'd see the
hair in my nose [A]gray
But [D]life goes [G]on how ironic
If [D]I could do it o[G]ver I'd
probably smoke chronic
But [F#m]still follow the footsteps
[Em]of prophet[B] Mohammed
I [Em]probably turn every lie [A]that I told honest
I [D]be an equal ter[G]rorist I give the
middle finger [D]to my therapist
[G]And flush my sedatest
I'll have a [F#m]baby with a feminist
and [Em]name him [B]sexist
[Em]Life's a contradiction [A]on my check list
When [D]I am

[Verse 9]
old and [G]lonely
Would [D]you still be [G]there for me
'Cause [F#m]now I have all of[Em] my stre[B]ngth
An[Em]d you have all your [A]beauty
When [D]you're gold

[Verse 10]
in Tim[G]buktu
Will [D]I still come l[G]ook for you
[F#m]Let's swim in the [B]deep [Em]end[B]
[Em]Make it warm that [A]we can
[D]For you,

[Verse 11]
[G]for[D] me[G]
[F#m]Buried in the [Em]deep [B]end
[Em]Life is one big [A]weekend
