1.    We‘ve been crippled in lo....ve, short changed, hung out to dry,

                                         G - D                                        A

    we‘ve chalked on the wa….lls, a slogan or two about life.

                 G                                                                     D

    Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns,

                         G                          Bm                                 A

    we‘ve been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face down.

 

           D       F#m    G                               D

So, please, please, let me grow old with you,

        F#m                                 Bm                              D - A

after everything we‘ve been through, what‘s left to pro…ve ?

          G         Bb         D                G - D     A                                D

So, please, please, please, oh, plea…se, let me grow old with you !

2.     We‘ve been living with sorrow, been up, down and all around,

                                 G D                                            A

    we‘ve buried our feelings a little too deep in the ground.

                 G                                                                     D

    Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns,

                         G                          Bm                                 A

    we‘ve been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face down.

 

           D        F#m    G                               D

So, please, please, let me grow old with you,

        F#m                                 Bm                              D - A

after everything we‘ve been through, what‘s left to pro…ve ?

          G         Bb         D                G - D     A                                D

So, please, please, please, oh, plea…se, let me grow old with you !

 

           Bm                                      F#

+  But tied to the same track, the two of us look back

         G                           D

    at oncoming trains ahead.

    F#m                                          Bm

    How many more times can we lay on the line,

                          C       A

    watching our love hang by a thread ?

 

           D        F#m    G                               D

So, please, please, let me grow old with you,

        F#m                                 Bm                              D - A

after everything we‘ve been through, what‘s left to pro…ve ?
