[D]
[G] [D]
[Em] [D]
[G] We're [D] middle aged, [G] we were wild in the old days.
Birth of rock and roll days.
[Em] Now your kid's all coming up street and
[G] My child's a [Am] stranger, I [Em] bore her,
[C] [G] Couldn't raise [Gm] her.
[Bm] Nothing lasts for [D] long.
Nothing lasts for long.
Nothing lasts for long.
[Em] Don't let them try [C] any scaffolding.
[Bm] We'd be bringing on our [Em] dying.
We'd be [C] playing, oh my love, [F] my [C] darling,
[D] One more time.
Uranium money is [G] booming in the old hometown now.
[Em] It's putting up sleek [C] concrete,
[G] Tearing the old [D] landmarks down now.
[Em] Paving over brave little [G] paths,
Ripping off Indian land again.
[Am] How long, how long,
[D] Short -sighted [Em] businessmen,
Nothing lasts for long.
[D] Nothing lasts for long.
[G] Nothing lasts for [D] long.
[G] Don't let them [C] try any scaffolding.
We'd be [Bm] bringing on our dying.
We'd be playing, [C] you give your love so sweetly,
[D] One more time.
[Em] [D]
Christmas is sparking out on Carol's lawn.
[G]
This girl [Am] of my [G] childhood [D] games.
This kid's nearly grown and gone.
[G]
[Em] Grown so [D] fast,
[G] Like the turn of a page.
We look like our mothers [D] did now,
When [G] we were those kids' [Em] age.
Nothing lasts for [D] long.
Nothing lasts for long.
Nothing lasts for long.
[G] Don't let the Chinese cafe.
[Bm] We'd be bringing on our dying.
[D] [C] We'd be playing, oh my love, my darling.
[G] I've hungered [C] for your touch.
[Em] How long, [G] lonely time.
[C] [Am] Time goes by [F] so slowly.
[G] Time can [C] do so much.
[Am] Are you [Em] still mine?
[C] I need your [G] love.
[Am] I need your love.
[F] God's given your [G] love to [D] me.
[A] [D] [A] [D]
