When They Get Older

A

[Verse 1]
A           Bm
I wanna be, just like you
Bm                       E
With a smile on my face, Facing my lover
A            Bm
I wanna be, just like you
Bm                  E
Heart on my sleeve, Child on my shoulder

[Chorus]
Bm                  A
Like everyone does, like everyone does
Bm                               E  D  Cm Bm
Like everyone does, when they get older

[Verse 2]
A            Bm
I wanna be, just like you
Bm                             E
Leaves on my tree, never touching the driveway
A           Bm
I wanna see what you do,
Bm                         E
if you sing in my dream I sing for you too

[Chorus]
Bm                  A
Like everyone does, like everyone does
Bm                  A
Like everyone does, like everyone does
Bm                  A
Like everyone does, like everyone does
Bm                               E  D  Cm Bm
Like everyone does, when they get older

[Verse 3]
E           D          C#m        Bm
And I don't wanna be a Roman like you
E        D        C#m         Bm
I'd be happy in a room with a view
Bm
No I'm not ready for your creature comforts
E     D         C#m      Bm
I'd rather sit around everyday
E    D        C#m           Bm
And watch a million hours trickle away
Bm                        Bm7
No I'm not ready for your picket fences
E
'Cos I don't follow the buzz

[Chorus]
Bm                  A                 E
Like everyone does, like everyone does
Bm                  A                  E
Like everyone does, when they get older
Bm                  A                 E
Like everyone does, like everyone does
Bm                  A            E D  C#m Bm
Like everyone does, when they get older

[Outro]
A            Bm
I wanna be, just like you
Bm                       E
With a smile on my face, Facing my lover
