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