C F G C
I'm thinking of when I first touched you
Am F G
Your skin was electric
C F G C
Now I'm far too wise to dwell on such things
Am F C
And far too sentimental to forget them
C F G C
Am F G
C F G C
I read somewhere memories are
Am F G
stories you write for yourself
C F G C
To explain who you are, and how you got there
Am F C
And to blame it on somebody else
C F G
Now the gifts are open
Am F G
The toys are broken
Dm F G
The speeches are all spoken
Am F G
And the dishes cleared away
C F G
The stream keeps flowing
Am F G
My doubts are growing
Dm F G
'Cause I've got no way of knowing
Am F G
if it'll dam or reach the sea
For you and me
C F G C

C F G C
I met a man twice my age
Am F G
Half joking, he said 'I should warn you.
C F G C
You're a fish on the line, and the line's pulling in,
Am F C
and there's a frying pan coming to warm you.'
C F G C
And while I smiled, it occurred to me
Am F G
I'm just gristle and blood
C F G C
And I've spent half my life with the sun in my eyes
Am F C
Chasing rainbows through the mud
C F G
Now the gifts are open
Am F G
The toys are broken
Dm F G
The speeches are all spoken
Am F G
And the dishes cleared away
C F G
The stream keeps flowing
Am F G
My doubts are growing
Dm F G
'Cause I've got no way of knowing
Am F G
if it'll dam or reach the sea
For you and me
C F G C
Am F G
C F G C
When I was a child in a little kid's world
Am F G
My heart was the same
C F G C
as the one I have now But it amazes me how
Am G F
much everything else has changed
