Dar Williams - Youre aging well

Why ^Gis it that as we grow ^Colder and stronger The ^Groad signs point us^C adrift and make us afraid Saying You n^Amever can win Watch your back^Em Where's your husband Oh I ^Amdon't like the ^Emsigns that th^Ce signma^Dkers made

So I'm ^Ggoing to steal out with my ^Cpaint and brushes I'll ^Gchange the directions I'll^C hit every street It's the ^AmTinseltown scandal the R^Emobin Hood vandal She ^Amgoes out and ^Emsteals the King'^Cs English And in the ^Dmorning you wake up and the signs point to you They say I^G'm so glad that you finally m^Cade it here You thought n^Gobody cared but I di^Cd I could tell And T^Ghis is your year and It al^Cways starts here And oh-^Amoh oh-oh^Em-oh oh-^Coh You'^Dre agin^Gg wel^Cl ^{G C}

Well ^GI know a woman with a col^Clection of sticks She could ^Gfight back the hundreds of ^Cvoices she heard And she could ^Ampoke at the greed she could f^Emend off her need And with ^Amanger she ^Emfound she could p^Cound every word^D But ^Gone voice got through caught her u^Cp by surprise It said Do^Gn't hold us back we're the st^Cory you tell And no ^Amsooner than spoken a s^Empell had been broken And the ^Amvoices be^Emfore her were ^Ctrumpets and tympani ^DViolins basses and woodwinds and cellos singing

W^Ge're so glad that you finally m^Cade it here You thought ^Gnobody cared but we d^Cid we could tell And now you'll ^Gdance through the days while the^C orchestra plays And oh-oh ^Amoh-oh-^Emoh oh-oh ^Cyou're a^Dging w^Gell

Now when ^GI was fifteen oh I k^Cnew it was over The ^Groad to enchantment was ^Cnot mine to take Cause lower ^Amcalf upper arm should be h^Emalf what they are I was ^Ambreaking the ^Emlaws that the ^Csignmakers ^Dmade

And ^Gall I could eat was the ^Cpoisonous apple And ^Gthat's not a story I was ^Cmeant to survive I was ^Amall out of choices but the w^Emoman of voices She ^Amturned round the ^Emcorner with ^Cmusic around her She ^Dgave me the language that keeps me alive she said

I^G'm so glad that you finally m^Cade it here With the ^Gthings you know now that o^Cnly time could tell Looking ^Gback seeing far landing ri^Cght where we are Am Em C D Am Em C D And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh you're aging oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh and I am aging oh ^Amoh-oh^Em-oh oh-oh ^Caren't we a^Dging w^Gell ^{C G}
