[Verse 1]

          G                       C
Help the aged, one time they were just like you

Cm                          G
drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue

          G                        C 
Help the aged, don't just put them in a home

Cm                                   G
Can't have much fun when they're all on their own

       C                         G
Give a hand, if you can, try and help them to unwind

          C                                          G
Give them hope and give them comfort, 'cause they're running out of time



[Chorus 1]

G                       B                                                
 In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever

C                      D           Cm                      G
No big deal so give us all a feel, funny how it all falls away

G                           B                    
 When did you first realise? It's time you took an older lover baby

C                             D              Cm                      G
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough, funny how it all falls away



[Verse 2]

         G                              C
Help the aged, 'cause one day you'll be older too 

Cm                             G
You might need someone who can pull you through

           C                            G
And if you look very hard, behind those lines upon their face 

        C                                  G
You may see where you are headed, and it's such a lonely place



[Chorus 2]

G                       B                                                
 In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever

C                      D           Cm                      G
No big deal so give us all a feel, funny how it all falls away

G                           B                    
 When did you first realise? It's time you took an older lover baby

C                             D              Cm                      G
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough, funny how it all falls away



[Bridge]

F  -  G  -  Bm  -  C  -  C                                  G         Bm        C
                     Oh, You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change

                        D
Can't run away from yourself, yourself, your self, self, self, self, self, self,
self, self, se-ooohhhh



[Chorus 3]

G                                       B                                                
 In the meantime we try, do do do do do, try to forget that nothing lasts forever

C                      D           Cm                      G
No big deal so give us all a feel, funny how it all falls away

G                           B                    
 When did you first realise? It's time you took an older lover baby

C                             D              Cm                      G
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough, funny how it all falls away

        D                       G    D                       G
Oh it's funny how it all falls away, funny how it all falls away

        D            Cm                 G
Oh it's funny how it all, it all falls away

             G
So help the aged
