Play that tune for the verses^^ 

Folk always told me that my heart would grow 
The older the man, yeah, the stronger the stone 
Am I losing my mind? 
Am I growing backwards with time? 

Some say with age that a purpose comes clear 
I see the opposite happening here 
Are we losing the fight? 
Are we growing backwards with time? 

Am    G         F        C 
I was young and love was fun 
C           G     C 
Now it's so serious 
Am          G       F     C 
Now all the fun has equal pain 
C                 F          C 
There's something wrong with this 
Am       G            F       C 
For all I know there's more I don't 
C             G      C 
Oh the little I have learned 
Am        G       F         C 
For every year of knowledge gained 
C             G         C 
Is a negative year I've earned 

Folk always told me that my heart would grow 
The older the man, yeah, the stronger the stone 
Am I losing my mind?
