The strange logic in your clumsiest line

C7
                             Gm                             F           C

C7
Gm                   
it wasnt Youth, it wasnt Life

      F                 C
born Old, sadly wise

C7
      Gm                
resigned (well, we were)

      F             C
to ending our lives

Bb                 Gm
Im so glad to grow older

to move away from those awful times

at peace with your life

C7
      Gm             
home late, full of Hate

            F                  C  
despise the ties that bind

Bb                   Gm

     Bb                           Gm               
to move away from those younger years

        C                    F

       Bb                            Gm     F              
Let me see all my old friends

       Bb                            Gm       F

C                              F              
because I really do love them

             C

C7
          Gm            
Captain of the games, solid framed
                F                        C          

I stood on the touchline

C7
      Gm            
hailstones, driven home

                F                   C
in his car --no brakes? I dont mind

          Bb                         Gm                
Im just so glad to grow older

      Bb                         Gm                
to move away from those darker years

C                         F             
Im in love for the first time

          C          
and I dont feel bad
