Oh very young what will you leave us this time
E E7 A D
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while

And while you're dreams may toss and turn you now
A D A
they will vanish away like your Dad's best jeans
A D A D
denim blue fading up to the sky
D A A7 (C#bass)
and though you want hime to last forever
D B E
you know he never will, you know he never will,
E E7 (G#bass) A
and the patches make the good-bye harder still.

D E F#m D
Oh very young what will you leave us this time
E A D
there'll never be a better chance to change you're mind
D E
and if you want this world to see a better day
A D A
will you carry the words of love with you
A D A D
will you ride the great white bird into heaven
D A A7(C#bass)
and though you want to last forever
D B E
you know you nev-er will, you know you never will,
E E7(G#bass) A
and the goodbyes make the jour-ney harder still.
