See you when you’re 40    (intro)    (midi)    (sample)

 

    Am ~ ~   + Am - G - F - Am (2x)

 

            Am                                                       

1. I've driven round in circles for three hours,

                Am                                        F

    it was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours.

      Am                                                                

    I temporarily forgot that there's better days to come,

        Am                                               F

    I thought that I would give you just one more chance.

                 C        Am     - F                            C             - Am - F

    ‘Cos I want, tonight,        what I've been waiting for,

              C          Am    - F                          C                   - Am - F

    but I found, tonight,       what I'd been warned about.

 

                      C                                        Am           F

2. You think you are complicated, deep mystery to all,

                  C                                     Am           F

    well, it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special.

          C                               Am                F

    All energy, no meaning, with a lot of words,

           C                                             - Am                              F

    so paper thin that one real feeling          could knock you down

                     C        Am   - F                          C                 - Am - F

    And I've seen, tonight,      what I'd been warned about,

                       C         Am     - F                   C                      - Am - F

    I'm gonna leave, tonight,        before I change my mind.

 

+ C - Am - F  - C - Am - F (2x)

 

           C                                    Am               F

3. So see you when you're 40, lost and all alone

                C                                          Am                     F

    being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know.

            C                                            Am                          F

    Not sad because you lost me, but sad because you thought

                 C           Am   - F

    it was cool to be sad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                      C                                          Am                  F

    You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd,

                 C

    well, if you had walked past me today,

         Am                                  F

    I wouldn't have picked you out,

        Am                                   F    - Am ~

    I wouldn't have picked you out,      

         Am                                  F

    I wouldn’t have picked you out.

 

                     C         Am    - F                       C                   - Am - F

    Now I've seen, tonight,        how could I waste my time,

                C              Am    - F             C                   - Am - F

    and I'll be on my way           and I won't be back.

                      C        Am    - F                           C                 - Am - F

    ‘Cos I've seen, tonight,       what I've been warned about,

                          C               Am   - F                      C                 - Am - F

    you're just a boy, not a man,         and I'm not coming back.

 

+ C - Am - F                        C                -  Am - F

                      And I’m not coming back.

 

+ C - Am - F  - C - Am - F (4x) …
