(4th fret if you play the album version
instead of the acoustic one).
Verse:
G Em
Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now
Am D
or, darling, have you started feeling old yet?
G Em
Don’t worry, I’m sure that you’re still breaking hearts
Am D
with the efficiency that only youth can harness.
G Em
And do you still think love is a laserquest?
Am D
Or do you take it all too seriously?
G Em
I’ve tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I’ve had,
Am D
but you’re always busy being make-believe.
Chorus:
C D
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you’re there?
G C
Or have somebody’s good-night kisses got that covered?
D
Well I’m not being honest, I’ll pretend
C G
that you were just some lover.
Verse:
G Em
Now I can’t think of there without thinking of you,
Am D
I doubt that comes as a surprise.
G Em
And I can’t think of anything to dream about,
Am D
I can’t find anywhere to hide.
Chorus:
C D
And when I’m hanging on by the rings around my eyes
G C
and I convince myself I need another.
D
And for a minute it gets easier to pretend
C G
that you were just some lover.
Bridge: G Em Am D
Chorus:
C D
When I’m pipe and slippers and rocking chair,
G C
singing dreadful songs about summer.
D
Well I’ve found a better method of pretending
C Em
you were just some lover.
C D
Well I’ve found a better method of pretending
C G
you were just some lover…
