Tonart: Bb major
Verse 1
G
C
When I was 10 years old I always
D
G
needed to be told
C
That I should not be frightened
D
G
by the fact that we grow old
Em
C
But as the days slipped by I felt
D
G
the pressing need to cry
Em
G
And I quickly understood
C
D
G
exactly why they'd had to lie
Verse 2
G
C
In the daylight I could cope,
D
G
because the sun seemed full of hope
C
I laughed enough for two grown
D
G
men and learnt I could tell jokes
Em
C
But sadness has a subtle face
D
G
and then it came to gloat
C
We heard about the girl and boy
D
G
hung by their skipping rope
Verse 3
Em
D
G
Isn't it too hard to conceive

Doesn't it bring you to your knees?

Verse 4
C
Now, fear is not a gentle thing
D
G
although it has no fists
C
It crawls down from your thoughts
D
G
and ties you by your skinny wrists
Em
C
Death will take your lips from you
D
G
so that you cannot kiss
C
But fear will leave you screaming
D
G
out for all the love you'll miss
Verse 5
G
D
C
And I had a friend who thought he
D
G
knew exactly where he stood
C
A place in heaven's safe for
D
G
him as long as he did good
Em
C
But life and love ran through his
D
G
veins and opened up his mind
C
Now he's got his gun but a new
D
G
terror sings at night

Verse 7
C
And Larkin is the master
D
G
in this poetry of fear
C
But he could never capture
D

what cried darkly in his ears
Em
C
And he would understand that though
D
G
I wrote these words to sing
C
These petty s cannot hope
G

So everyday I'll stop these thoughts
D

before they'll take a hold
C
Lying in my bed pretending
D

that I won't grow old

And maybe when I'm 84 I'll
D

sit and sing this song

Just hope that if I do then this
