Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were.

D        F                  C                       G

Old man, look at my life -- twenty-four and there's so much more.

Live alone in a paradise that makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost -- give me things that don't get lost.

D                C                F               G

Like a coin that won't get tossed rolling home to you.

 

D    Am7    Em7    G    D/F#

 

CHORUS:

D                                    Am7    Em7  G

Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot--- like you.

I need someone to love me the whole day through.

Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.

 

D    F    C    G    D    F    C    F

 

Lullabies, look in your eyes, run around the same old town.

Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you.

I've been first and last - look at how the time goes past.

But I'm all alone at last, rolling home to you.

 

CHORUS
