We've been crippled in loove, short changed, hung out to dry 
E                    A  E                        Bsus4 B
We've chalked on the walls a slogan or two about li....fe 
      A                         Asus2    A        E      Esus4 E
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns 
           A                        C#m                 Bsus4   B
We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-do......own 
 
   E       B       A                    E
So please, please, let me grow old with you 
      G#m                   C#m                     Bsus4 B
After everything we've been through, what's left to prove

so please, please, please, oh please    let me grow old with you

E                      A   E                     B   E
We've been living with sorrow, been up, down and all around 
E                A  E                              Bsus4 B
We've buried our feelings a little too deep in the ground 
      A                         Asus2    A        E     Esus4 E
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns
           A                         C#m                Bsus4   B
We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-do......own

So please, please, let me grow old with you

So please, please, please, oh please   let me grow old with you

 
    C#m                         G#m
But tied to the same track, the two of us look back 
   A                E
At oncoming trains ahead 
G#m                        C#m
How many more times can we lay on the line 
             A    B
Watching our love hang by a thread 

   E       B       A                    E
So please, please, let me grow old with you
      G#m                   C#m                     Bsus4 B
