[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][G][C]
[Am][Em][Am][C]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Why [G]is it
that as we grow [C]older and stronger
The road [G]signs point us adrift
[C]and make us afraid
Saying "You nev[Am]er can win," "Watch your
[Em]back," "Where's your husband?"
[Am]Oh, I don't like the signs
that the [C]sign makers [D]made.

[Verse 2]
So I'm going [G]to steal out with
my [C]paint and brushes
[G]I'll change the directions,
I'll [C]hit every street
It's [Am]the Tinseltown scandal,
the [Em]Robin Hood vandal
She [Am]goes out and steals
[G]the king's Eng[C]lish
And in the [D]morning you wake up
and the signs point to you

[Verse 3]
They [G]say
"I'm so glad that you finally
made [C]it here,"
"You thought [G]nobody cared,
but I [C]did, I could tell,"
And [Bm]"This is your year," and
[D]"It al[C]ways starts here,"
And [D]oh [Am]"You'[Em]re[C]
[D]aging [G]well."
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Well [G]I know a woman with a
col[C]lection of sticks
She could [G]fight back the
hundreds of [C]voices she heard
And she could [Am]poke at the greed,
she could [Em]fend off her need
And with [Am]an ger she found
[C]she could pound every [D]word.
But [G]one voice got through,
caught her [C]up by surprise
It said, [G]"Don't hold us back,
we're [C]the story you tell,"
And [Am]no sooner than spoken,
[Em]a spell had been broken
And the [Am]voices [G]before her were
[C]trumpets and tympan[D]i
Violins, basses and woodwinds and cellos,

[Verse 5]
singing
[G]"We're so glad that you
finally [C]made it here
You thought [G]nobody cared,
but we [C]did, we could tell
And now [G]you'll dance through the days
while the or[C]chestra plays
[D]And [Am]oh, [Em]you'r[C]e aging we[D]ll."[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 6]
Now [G]when I was fifteen,
oh, I [C]knew it was over
[G]The road to enchantment was
[C]not mine to take
'Cause lower [Am]calf,
upper arm should be half [Em]what they are
I [Am]was breaking the laws that
the sign [D]makers made.

[Verse 7]
And [G]all I could eat was the
pois[C]onous apple
And [G]that's not a story I was [C]meant to survive
I [Am]was all out of choices,
but [Em]the woman of voices

[Verse 8]
She [Am]turned round the corner
[C]with music around her,
[D]She [G]gave me the language [D]that

[Verse 9]
keeps me alive, she said:
[G]"I'm so glad that
you finally [C]made it here
With the thing[G]s you know now,
that [C]only time could tell
Looking back[G], seei[Bm]ng far,
landing [C]right where we are
And [D]oh, [Am]you'[G]re a[C]ging,[D]
[Am]oh a[G]nd I[C] am aging,[D]
[Am]Oh, [C]aren't we agin[D]g well[G]?"[C]
