Verse:
G Em
Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now
Am D
or, darling, have you started feeling old yet?
G Em
Donʼt worry, Iʼm sure that youʼre still breaking hearts
Am D
with the efficiency that only youth can harness.
G Em
And do you still think love is a laserquest?
Am D
Or do you take it all too seriously?
G Em
Iʼve tried to ask you this in some daydreams that Iʼve had,
Am D
but youʼre always busy being make-believe.
Chorus:
C D
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself youʼre there?
G C
Or have somebodyʼs good-night kisses got that covered?
D
Well Iʼm not being honest, Iʼll pretend
C G
that you were just some lover.
Verse:
G Em
Now I canʼt think of there without thinking of you,
Am D
I doubt that comes as a surprise.
G Em
And I canʼt think of anything to dream about,
Am D
I canʼt find anywhere to hide.
Chorus:
C D
And when Iʼm hanging on by the rings around my eyes
G C
and I convince myself I need another.
D
And for a minute it gets easier to pretend
C G
that you were just some lover.
G Em Am D
Chorus:
C D
When Iʼm pipe and slippers and rocking chair,
G C
singing dreadful songs about summer.
D
Well Iʼve found a better method of pretending
C Em
you were just some lover.
C D
Well Iʼve found a better method of pretending
C G
you were just some lover...
