Intro: (G#m7) (A) (B) (E)

I (E) rounded first never thought of the worst

As I (B) studied the shortstop's position

(B7) Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg

Someone (E) call a decent physician

(A) I'm no Pete Rose, (G#m7) I can't pre(A)tend

Though my mind is quite (E) flexible, these (B7) brittle bones don't (E) bend

I'm growing (E) older but not up

My metabolic (B7) rate is pleasantly stuck

Let those (G#m7) winds of time blow (A) over my head

I'd rather (B) die while I'm living than live (B7) while (E) I'm (B7) dead

(E) Sometimes I see me as an old manatee

Headin' (B) south as the waters grow colder

(B7) Tries to steer clear of the hum-drum so near

It cuts (E) prop scars deep in his shoulder

But (A) that's how it goes (that's how it goes), (G#m7) right to the (A) en

Though his body's quite (E) flexible, that (B7) barnacle brain don't (E) bend

I'm growing (E) older but not up

My metabolic (B7) rate is pleasantly stuck

Let those (G#m7) winds of time blow (A) over my head

I'd rather (B) die while I'm living than live (B7) while (E) I'm (B7) dead

Solo

Now (E) don't get me wrong

This is not a sad song

Just ev(B)ents that I have happened to witness

And (B7) time takes its toll as we head for the poll

And no (E) one dies from physical fitness

So (A) what the hell, we'll take it (G#m7) right to the (A) end

As the days grow more (E) complicated the (B7) nightlife still (E) wins

I'm growing (E) older but not up

My metabolic (B7) rate is pleasantly stuck

Let those (G#m7) winds of change blow (A) over my head

I'd rather (B) die while I'm living than live (B7) while (E) I'm (B7) dead

Let those (G#m7) winds of time blow (A) over my head

I'd rather (B) die while I'm living than (A) li(G#m)ve (F#m) while (E) (B7) I'm (E) dead
