she [Em] said, can I make love to [D] you?
[A] Said it won't [G] be just seven riddles I [C] ever knew, here's what she said.
[G] _ _ [D]
Oh, that woman [Dm] talked just like a guitar, you know, [F] I never understood a word she [D] said.
[Gm] Maybe that's why we got along so well.
[A] I don't know [G] baby, David, he knows all about love.
[D] Oh yes he does.
Play those Boston Bridges, David.

So [G] nice, so easy, [Am] I [D] hate to say goodbye to you.
[A] And one keeps us [G] in the riddles I never knew.
[Dm] _ Well _ _ _ friends, I got to tell you, [D] I was reading the USA Today newspaper yesterday morning.
I could not believe what I saw.
I could not believe what they were selling in this newspaper.
Here's what they're saying, [G] [D] they're saying the conventional wisdom is that human beings,
like yourself, like us, human beings, conventional wisdom, we reach our peak.
We reach our creative peak, we reach [G] our [D] intellectual peak, we reach our sexual peak at the age of 30.
And from 30 on down, it's all downhill from there.
_ _ And I'm thinking to myself, hold on a second, this ain't right.
This conventional wisdom is just not right because I tell you what, everybody in this band is over 30.
Did you know that? _ _
Every single one of us is at least 30 [G] years of [D] age.
And I tell you what, we just released a brand new CD, Find Your [G] Own Way [D] Home.
So creatively, I think we're still growing.
_ Intellectually, I'm still learning more every day.
I'm learning more about the world, I'm learning how to be a better person, a better father, a better husband.
I'm learning so much in the last couple of years you won't believe it.
So intellectually, I'm still getting there.
_ Sexually, I'm as horny as ever, baby. _ _ _ _
I tell you what I say, I say this.
I am feeling good, feeling good, feeling _ _ _ [C] [D] good_
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [C#] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So _ [G] _ [N] _ _ _
that's [D] _ _ _ _ our message to you tonight my friend
Rock n' roll music will keep you young [Dm] forever
It will keep you young forever.
You keep coming [D] out and hearing live music.
You keep listening to rock and roll music
And you will stay young forever, baby
