[A]
I've got a couple more years on you, babe, and [E] that's all.
I've had more chances to fly, more places [A] to fall.
It's not that I'm wise, it's just that I've spent more time with my back [D] to the wall.
[E] And I've picked up a couple more years on you, babe, and [A] that's all.
I've walked a couple of more roads than you, babe, [C#m] and that's [E] all.
[Bm]
[E] And I'm tired of running while you're only learning [D] to [A] crawl.
And you're going somewhere, but I've been to somewhere, and found it was nowhere [D] at all.
[E] And I've picked up a couple more years on you, babe, [A] and that's all.
[E]
[A]
Saying goodbye, girl, don't ever come easy [E] at all.
But you've got to fly, cause you're hearing them young eagles [A]
call.
Someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong [D] and tall.
And [E] say, I've got a couple more years on you, babe, and [A] that's all.
You'll say, I've got a couple more years on you, babe, and [E] that's all.
I've had more chances to fly, more places [A] to fall.
