C                          G
You're older than you've ever been
Am                         Em
But you'll never be this young again
F                   C
Mirrors don't lie, but who cares
      G
When you're riding high
C                   G
Your life was made for music
Am                 Em
and you know what you're doing
F                C
Rev the crowd, let's get loud
    G
While we're alive

[Chorus]

      F                           C
Music Man, the hourglass keeps losing sand.
        F                             G
And the less there is, the heavier the load.
        F                       C
Music Man, the magic music from your hands.
           Am       F         G              C
takes the heart of lead and turns it into gold.

[Verse 2]

C                       G
Old routines for brand new shows.
Am                   Em
Stage man says its time to go.
F                  C
Pour a cup, then drink it up.
    G
And grab your hat.
C                      G
Crowd is strapped in for the ride.
Am                           Em
You're breaking through to the other side.
F                C.
Time has come, we hear the drum.
    G
No turning back.

[Chorus]

       F                          C
Music Man, through dark times and troubled lands.
        F                         G
All that you create lights the way back home.
       F                  C
Music Man, we all hope you understand.
      Am         F                  G         C
In the roughest waves, you are an anchor stone.

[Outro]

    F           C
So play on, oh play on.
      F             G
Make it loud, keep it strong.
      F               C
Music Man, strike up the band.
     G
We'll sing along.
     F           C
So play on, oh play on.
        F              G
Make it loud and keep it strong.
       F                   C
Music Man, strike up the band.
        G                      C
We'll sing along, Oh we’ll sing along.
