D All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold. Am G All the kids are talking slang I won’t pretend to understand. D A D All my friends are getting married, mortgages and pension plans. G And it’s obvious my angry adolescent days are done. D And I’m happy and I’m settled in the person I’ve become. Am G But that doesn’t mean I’m settled up and sitting out the game- A D Time may change a lot. But some things they stay the same. ___________________________________________________________________ CHORUS: (No guitar) ___________________________________________________________________ BUILD UP INTO VERSE 2: D, Dsus2, D, Dsus2 ___________________________________________________________________ VERSE 2: G Oh, maturity’s a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems.
