C

[Verse]
             G      Am
Now that I'm older
                         F       C
Though not old enough to know
                 G       Am
What it is to be lonely
                           F
What it is to be without a home

[Verse]
       Em
I've a friend nearby
    F        D
Who loves me rain or shine
      E7     Am
Don't ask me why
        F
But her younger eyes are so much
                C     G   Am   F      C
Older eyes than mine

[Verse]
              G          Am
Thought I was well read
                               F       C
Wouldn't have to ask her for a lead
                     G          Am
Till I read what her eyes said
                                      F
Then I knew there was nothing more to read

[Verse]
        Em
Nothing more to do
    F       D
And nothing more to say
         E7     Am
But give all my words away
   F
To someone who needs them
                           C    G   Am   F      C
But can't find a girl like you

[Verse]
              G         Am
I ran all the way here
                                   F       C
To be the first to see the morning star
                    G        Am
There were others before me
                                F
For the sounds of beauty travel far

[Verse]
          Em
I hear it loud and clear
       F            D
And it rings like a silver coin
       E7      Am
Thrown down on stone
           F
Though I'm lost in a crowd
                            C      G   Am   F
I know you're around me somehow

[Verse]
          Em
I hear it loud and clear
       F            D
And it rings like a silver coin
       E7      Am
Thrown down on stone
           F
Though I'm lost in a crowd
                            C    G   Am   F      C
I know you're around me somehow
