              Intro Am  Bb 
 
Verse 1:
        Dm       F 
We're getting old, now 
        Bb     Gm 
But I don't feel it 
           Dm    F 
I say you're beautiful 
         Bb    Gm 
And I still mean it 
        Dm      F 
And I don't wanna know 
        Bb     Gm 
What old age feels like 
        Dm     F 
So promise me you won't 
       Bb      Gm 
Give up on this life 
 
Pre-Chorus
  Dm             F 
And we'll be busy tryin' 
       Bb            Gm 
While the rest of them are dyin' 
 
Refrão 1 
 
Bb                C 
Promise me we'll never grow up 
            Am 
I don't wanna let go 
           Dm 
I wanna stay young 
Bb                  C 
And even when the wrinkles show up 
              Am 
We'll be laughing, and 
                 D             Gm 
We can play forever, don't make me face the truth 
 
 
Verse 2:
           Dm     F 
I think it's obvious 
            Bb  Gm 
That we'll stay happy 
         Dm     F 
Cause I'm the happiest 
       Bb    Gm 
When you smile at me 
        Dm       F 
And we won't end the same 
      Bb   Gm 
A broken family 
          Dm     F 
I'll never walk away 
        Bb   Gm 
Without you with me 
 
 
Pre-Chorus
   Dm               F 
And times are getting harder 
      Bb             Gm 
But I'm nothing like my father 
 
 
 
Bb                 C 
Promise me we'll never grow up 
             Am 
I don't wanna fall out 
         Dm 
I wanna make love 
Bb              C 
And even when we can't sew up 
           Am 
We're together, and 
              D              Gm 
Happy ever after, don't make me face the truth 
 
Ponte 
 
      Dm  C   Gm 
That I'm dying soon 
      Dm    C   Gm 
That we're dying soon  (Don't say goodbye!) 
 
    Bb 
We're so much older 
Dm             Am 
All I want is one more life with you! 
 
(When did we get so old, so old, so old?) 
 
Bb           C 
When did we get so old? 
           Am 
Why did you get so sick? 
          Dm 
And how could you die? 
 
Verse 3:
Bb                   C 
You promised me you'd never grow up 
            Am 
Now I have to let go 
             Dm 
God, I miss you so much! 
Bb                 C 
And even when your heart gave out 
            Am 
I was thinkin' how 
            D 
I won't say goodbye! 
 
Bb                   C 
You promised me you'd never grow up 
              Am 
But you fucking grew up 
             Dm 
God, I miss you so much! 
Bb                             C 
And even when your heart GAVE out 
          Am 
I was thinkin' I'd 
                    D            Gm 
Love you till forever, and I can't face the truth 
 
Final 
 
    Dm      C    Gm 
That I died with you 
      Dm   C   Bb 
That you lied 
 
(That you die...)
