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
Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
Am
D
with the efficiency 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

D
but you're always busy being make-believe.
C
D
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there?
G
C

D

G
When I'm not being honest, I'll pretend that you were just some lover.
G
Em

Am
D

G
Em
And I can't think of anything to dream about,
Am
D

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
And for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover.
G
Em
Am

When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair,
G

singing dreadful songs about summer.

Em
Will I have found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?
