Line one is the time                         That you, you first stayed over at mine 

Line two we're away                          And we both, we both had nowhere to stay

And we drank our first bottle of wine      And we cried 

Well the bus-shelter's always OK           When you're young 


Chorus (Strum)
           C                        F
Now you're older and I look at your face 
      C                     F
Every wrinkle is so easy to place 
      C                            Am
And I only write them down just in case 
         G              G
That you die

Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look 
F                        G
Sitting on the prettiest eyes 
C             Am
Sixty 25th of Decembers 
F                 G
Fifty-nine 4th of Julys 
F                          G
Not through the age or the failure, children 
C                       Am
Not through the hate or despise 
C                         Am
Take a good look at these crows feet

Line three I forget                          But I think, I think it was our first ever bet 

Line four in a park                          And the things, the things that people do in the dark

And the horse we backed was short of a leg    Never mind 

I could hear the faintest beat of your heart  Then we did
