Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice.

Verse One

I can't wait to see you, Old and Gray….Fading away….

The Creases round your lips, for years your smile bring me to bliss

When we get old, I'll have you know….till then you just live

The Concept of Sharing all, I'll entertain / it's clear I have so much to gain

Verse Two

Collect the stories left to say / as the years dance away

The best laid plans are never made

As the days thicken the lines upon my face

You taking care of me, as my old habits catch up with me / and you complain, you could of started…..We could have had more years

Chorus

Everything has to end, or you'd never treasure it

I'm sure my time will come first, but I promise I'll wait for you..

And if my time, would be soon / I'd rather see you with another, than to see you all alone…
