          A
Wave goodbye to your mother
                                 Bm
You're no longer a child of the world

No longer a boy or a girl
 C#m                Bm        A Bm
The past is safely behind you
 A
Memory fades and
                       Bm
Time brings change to everyone
                            F#m
It's time to rule with the sun
 C#m               Bm
In casting another shadow

    A
Everybody has their time in the firing line

And this time it's mine to take a couple of rounds
 C#m           Bm
 It's okay to feel down
 A
Those who laugh become the joke
As their bellies start to bloat
 Bm
Into great big balloons

While I'm singing tunes, tunes about you
