Key: Db major
Verse 1
C
F
C
As the faces of the rock begin to gather at the ground,
Dm
Gsus4
C
F
C
And the manzanita finds a way to curl and to be,
Dm
Gsus4
Dm
C
F
And the second hand is satisfied with
C
Dm
Gsus4
how it comes around,
C
F
And the waves percuss against
C
Dm
the heat and come back to the sea,
F
C
I love the way that we grow old,
Dm
C
the way my teeth are getting dull,
F
C
And the way the river turns to
a ravine after it's full,
F
C
And how the parking lots are growing
F
C
full of weeds after the cull;
Gsus4
C
F
Oh yeah, I love the way that we grow old.
C
Dm
Gsus4
C
F
C
Dm
Gsus4
Dm
C
F
As the trauma you remember from
Dm
Gsus4
C
Begins to dissipate and be
F
C
Dm
replaced by something more profound,
C
F
Like the way the paint is drying as
C
Dm
it hangs there on the rung,
C
F
And how you watch it with the brush
C
Dm
still in your hand without a sound,
F
C
I love the way that you decide to let
Dm
F
C
things be as it gets cold,
F
C
And the way the cards all hover on
F
Dm
C
the table when you fold,
F
C
With unfamiliar ease creeping up
Dm
C
on us like mold;
Gsus4
C
Oh yeah, I love the way that we grow
F
C
Dm
F
C
old.
F
C
Dm
C
F
When the girls are still young but
C
Dm
you decide to take a job,
C
F
And suddenly the chapter starts
C
Dm
to sputter to a close,
C
F
And the thought of leaving it behind
C
Dm
just makes your spirit throb,
C
F
But time is inescapable and
C
Dm
it knows what it knows,
F
C
I love the way that we march on
C
F
C
How the light looks on the ocean floor
F
C
as afternoon takes hold,
How casual you are when you are
Gsus4
C
brave and you are bold;
Gsus4
C
F
C
Dm
C
F
Oh yeah, I love the way that we grow old.
C
Dm
Gsus4
C
F
C
Dm
Gsus4
C
F
C
Dm
F
C
Dm
doing beginning to grow thin,
C
F
As if you've just been waiting
C
Dm
in a pool for the tide,
C
F
And now you see the shadow of a
C
Dm
big wave coming in ,
C
F
And every fiber of your being says
C
Dm
to brace yourself or hide,
F
C
I love the way that you prepare against
Dm
C
the nature of your soul,
F
C
The way the earth will shudder
Dm
C
as it curls and it rolls,
F
C
How dignified the answer as the
question takes a toll;
Gsus4
C
Oh yeah, I love the way that we grow old.
