[C] Big Brother had a treehouse club [F] when he was [C] only ten

They [Am] told me I [F] was much too young [C] for the kind of games [F] they played
[C] I remember I would sit and cry [G] wishing I was twice [C] my [Dm] [C] age
My [F] [C] grandpa was the only one [F] with a sympathetic
[C] ear
Patiently he'd comfort me [G] when I was close to tears
[Am] And I'd say, Gramps, [F] why does it take [C] so long for time [F] to pass?
[C] And he'd say, Sport, life's too short [G] no matter how long [C] it [D] lasts
[Em] [F] Too soon you'll see how suddenly [C] tomorrow becomes [F] the past

[F#] [C#] Today
[G#] [C#] [G#m]
[C#] my little grandson [F#] came and climbed upon [C#] my knee
He said, why can't I be all grown up [G#] instead of only three?
[A#m] And then those old [F#] familiar words [C#] came tumbling from the [F#] past
And [C#] I said, Sport, life's too short [G#] no matter how long [C#] it [D#m] [C#] lasts
[F#] Too soon you'll see how suddenly
[C#] tomorrow becomes the [F#] past
