Intro: G 
 
         G                           Em 
Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now? 
    Am                              D 
Or darling have you started feeling old yet? 
       G                                          Em                    Am 
Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts, with the efficiency 
                     D 
That only youth can harness 
 
             G                      Em 
And do you still think love is a laserquest? 
           Am                  D 
Or do you take it all more seriously? 
              G                   Em 
I've tried to ask you this, in some daydreams that I've had 
                Am                    D 
But you were always busy being make believe 
 
            C                        D 
And do you look into the mirror, to remind yourself, you're there? 
            G                                C 
Or has somebody's goodnight kisses got that covered? 
                                  D                 C         G 
When I'm not being honest, I pretend that you were just some lover 
 
    G                      Em 
Now I can't think of air, without thinking of you 
   Am                    D 
I doubt that comes as a surprise 
    G                              Em 
And I can't think of anything to dream about 
Am                     D 
I can't find anywhere to hide 
 
      C                          D 
And when I'm hanging on, by the rings around my eyes 
          G                    C 
And I convince myself I need another 
                                 D                    C         G 
For a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover 
 
( G  Em  Am  D ) 
 
          C                     D 
When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair 
          G                   C 
Singing dreadful songs about summer 
                                     D                  C         Em 
Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover? 
           C                         D                  C         G 
Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?
