[D]Now You’re too young for [Bm]the golden age
Cause the [G]record bin’s [D]been replaced
[D]27 go [F#m]without a trace
And you [G]walked away [A]from your [D]drink

[D]May I have this [Bm]last dance
By [G]chance if we should [D]meet?
[D]Can you write me a [F#m]lullaby?
So we [G]can sing [A]you to [D]sleep
