This one was a little tricky, not completley sure about it especially
"some kids are going off - we're fingering the punch bowl" part but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Intro:
C Em-E-Am
G F-Fm
C Am G C
G
C Em - E - Am
When I left I wasn't thinking
G F - Fm
That I wasn't coming home
C
But first Al Green
Am
And then Barry White
G C
Convinced me not to go
G
C Em - E - Am
And I didn't come home for fighting
G F - Fm
I came to bandage up my hand
C Am
And if you're gonna talk to me like that
G C
Then I'll just go back out again
G
Dm Am
Wipe that chip right off your shoulder
F C - A
We ain't getting any younger
Dm Am
Some things are getting bigger
F Fm
Some things are falling off
C Am
Some things they seem much harder
G C
Some other things stay soft
G
C Em - E - Am
We're tipping over in the taprooms
G F - Fm
We're shooting through the ceiling
C
We're dying in the bathrooms
Am G C
And we're living for that one sweet, fleeting feeling
G
C Em - E - Am
I know my cough sounds awful
G F - Fm
Some nights it hurts a bit to breathe
C
But I'm glad it's just my body
Am G C
I do my business on the street
G
Dm Am
We ain't getting any younger
F Am - A
Tomorrow night we'll be that much older
F Fm
Some kids are growing awkward
C (Here I'm not sure) Am
And some kids are going off
G
We're fingering the punch bowl
C
We're feeding from the trough
Em-E-Am
G F-Fm
C Am
There's nothing quite like a Cheyenne sunrise
G C
To make us has-beens feel too old
G
Dm Am
Onward Christian soldiers
F C - A
We're gonna bash right through your borders
Dm Am
I bet your next party gets sketchy
F Fm
I saw the new kids nodding off
G
C Am
Some things are getting bigger
G C
Some things are falling off
C Am
Some things seem much harder
G Am
Some other things stay soft
