    Am            Em 
and birthday wonderings 
        D 
want to put on faces
 Am         A7      D 
walk in the wet and cold 
          G         Bm        Em 
and look forward to my growing old
   D 
to grow is to change 
   Em 
to change is to be new
     Am 
to be new is to be young again
  C               D 
I barely remember when
   Em            Am           Em 
my memories are stolen by the morning
 Em Am Em 
blotted out by the sun's hypnotic eye

Em   D

Today is the first day
        C

I wake as a child
            Em 
to see the world begin on monarch wings
     Am          Em 
and birthday wonderings
        D 
want to put on faces
 Am         A7      D 
walk in the wet and cold
          G          Bm        Em 
and look forward to my growing old
