Folk always told me that my heart would grow
The older the man, yeah, the stronger the stone
Am I losing my mind?
Am I growing backwards with time?
Some say with age that a purpose comes clear
I see the opposite happening here
Are we losing the fight?
Are we growing backwards with time?
Am G F C
I was young and love was fun
C G C
Now it's so serious
Am G F C
Now all the fun has equal pain
C F C
There's something wrong with this
Am G F C
For all I know there's more I don't
C G C
Oh the little I have learned
Am G F C
For every year of knowledge gained
C G C
Is a negative year I've earned
Folk always told me that my heart would grow
The older the man, yeah, the stronger the stone
Am I losing my mind?
