I know what it is to be young

[Em] When we are young age has no [Am] meaning
[B7] I never gave it a second [Em] thought
[C] Until one day a-[D] long came [Am] this [G] old [F#dim] man
[C] And this is what he said to [B7] me, yes this is what he said to me

[Em] I know what it is to be [Am] young
but [B7] you, you don't know what it is to be [Fm] old
[Em] someday you'll be saying the same thing
[Am] Time [B7] takes away so the story is told [Em]

[Em] I have so many questions [B7] for the wise man I met
[Em] Couldn't find all the answers [Am] [C] no one has theirs as [B7] yet
[C] there'll be days to re-[B7] member, full of laughter [Em] and tears

After summer [Am] comes winter [F#dim] so [B7] go the years
So my friend [Em] let's make music to-[Am] gether
[B7] I'll play the old while you sing me the [Em] new
In time when your young days are [Am] over
there'll be someone [B7] sharing their time [Em] with you

[Fm] I know what it is to be [Bbm] young
But [C7] you, you don't know what it is to be [Fm] old

[Fm] So my friend let's make music to-[Bbm] gether
[C7] I'll play the old while you sing me the [Fm] new
In time when your young days are [Bbm] over
There'll be someone [C7] sharing their time [Fm] with you

There'll [Bbm] be someone [C7] sharing their time [Fm] with you
