G                              Em 
Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now 
    Am                                 D 
or, darling, have you started feeling old yet? 
      G                                Em 
Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts 
                 Am                      D 
with the efficiency that only youth can harness. 
          G                      Em 
And do you still think love is a laserquest? 
     Am                            D 
Or do you take it all more seriously? 
               G                    Em 
I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had, 
                Am                       D 
but you're always busy being make-believe.

    C                              D 
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there? 
          G                                   C 
Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered? 
                                D                     C          G 
When I'm not being honest, I'll pretend that you were just some lover.

G                              Em 
Now I can't think of there without thinking of you, 
 Am                          D 
I doubt that comes as a surprise. 
     G                             Em 
And I can't think of anything to dream about, 
Am                        D 
I can't find anywhere to hide.

          C                         D 
And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes 
          G                    C 
and I convince myself I need another. 
                                      D                   C         G 
And for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover.

          C                     D 
When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair, 
         G                    C 
singing dreadful songs about summer. 
                                        D                 C         Em 
Will I have found a better method of pretending you were just some lover? 
             C                          D                 C         G 
Will I have found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?
