[F#] [F#m] [E]
[F#]
[F#m] [E]
[A] [F#] I must be strong and carry on, no one stays forever [E] young
One given chance to be this way, has gone out animal and [F#m] ray
No surprise, no mystery, looking back in [E] history
Cause nothing's what it used to be, compared to all the [D] memories
When I mentally and physically, have the man [E] that I once [F#m] used to be
[D] When my glory days are history and I can't wait to die
Just [E] let me be, just let me be
[A] I'm not afraid to die, [E] but I'm afraid of getting old
[F#m] I'm not afraid to cry, [D] when memories are being told
[A] I'm not afraid to die, I'm [E] not afraid to cry
[D] But I'm afraid, I'm [E] so afraid, of [F#] getting old
No [F#m] reasons to carry on, now that everyone is [E] gone
Having no one to caress, long to relive the [F#] past
Pictures hanging on the wall, nostalgia will make you [E] fall
You ain't got tears left to cry, but you feel the loss as time goes [D] by
When I mentally and physically, have the man I used to be
The mirror doesn't [E] lie, just [F#m] look and see
When [D] my glory days are history and I can't wait to die
Just [E] let me be, just let me be
I'm [A] not afraid to die, [E] but I'm afraid of getting old
[F#m] I'm not afraid to cry, when [D] memories are being told
I'm [A] not afraid to die, I'm [E] not afraid to cry
[D] But I'm afraid, I'm [E] so afraid, of [F#m] getting old
[Bm] The ticking of the clock is [E] getting louder every day
[A] It makes no sense to fear what's [F#m] gonna happen [F#] anyway
I [Bm] cannot stop these tears from [E] falling down
I can't try, [C#] what's on the final pages of my life

I'm [A] not afraid to die, I'm [E] not afraid to cry
But [D] I'm afraid, I'm [E] so afraid
[G] I'm [A] not afraid to die, but [E] I'm afraid of getting old
I'm [F#m] not afraid to cry, when [D] memories are being told
I'm [A] not afraid to die, I'm [E] not afraid to cry,
But [D] I'm afraid, I'm [E] so afraid, of [F#m] getting old.
