Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]In health and [G]in sickness
In health and in sickness
In joy and in sorrow
[C]In joy and in sorrow
As long as we [D]both [C]shall live
[G]As long as we both shall live

[Verse 2]
Called you [C]at ten just to check [D]in
And wish you, my [C]love, happy [G]birthday
And I know that it's [C]late and
you're out with your [D]friends
Does [C]23 feel any [Am]different?

[Verse 3]
Then I hear you get [Em]quiet and then
I hear [C]you lean [D]in
You look like [C]your dad but
you sound like [Am]a kid
And you said you [C]were tired,
still you throw me [D]a quip
Say, "The candles still [C]beat

[Verse 4]
the alternative"
[G]
We are getting [D]so [C]old
Caught my eyes in the [Em]ac tion
Of [D]sinking into [Am]their sockets
again
[C][Em][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Called you [C]at ten just to check [D]in
Said I'd be [C]late, so go on to [G]bed
And our hair had gone [C]gray
and our memories [D]thin
So I wasn't sur[C]prised
to find you like [Am]this
So I straightened [C]you

[Verse 6]
[Em]out and
I drew the cur[C]tain[D] s
And kissed you good[C]bye
in the ambulance
[Am]In the glow of the n[C]ight,
[Em]I leaned down to your he[D]ad
To ask, "Does it [C]feel any different?"

[Verse 7]
[G]
We are getting so [D]old[C]
Caught my eyes in the [Em]ac tion
Of [D]sinking into [Am]their [C]sockets [Em]again[D][G]
We are getting so [D]old[C]
Caught my eyes in the [Em]ac tion
Of [D]sinking into their [Am]sockets
[C]again[Em]
[D]

[Verse 8]
Goodbye [C]to [Cm]the bird[G] s [Cm]and
[C]the bees [G]and the trees
And [D]your truck and the way that
you lift with your knees
And good[C]bye [Cm]to y[C]our rocket[Cm]s,
[C]the [G]king of the sky
How we [D]lit 'em off quick just
to watch the things fly

[Verse 9]
And good[Cm]bye to the times that
[G]we sat on your porch
Smoking [D]weed in the spring,
the sun and her scorch
And good[Cm]bye to your eyes
and [G]the way that ours met
Now they're [D]probably glued to
the back of your head

[Outro 1]
And goodbye
[D][F][Cm][G][D]
