[Am]Take me to your ho[Dm]use
And [G]show me to all your f[C]amily
[Am]I don't care [Dm]about
The f[G7]ool that it makes me s[C]eem
'Cause I [Am]know that you're [Dm]17
And I'[G]m just an aging [C]dandy
The [Am]world is light and [Dm]dark
And [G]we live in betw[Am]een
When I was a boy
I wandered the streets of downtown
Staring at the sky
And feeling that I didn't belong
In a world where the gentle seem wrong
And teeth get knocked out on Sundays
I lay down in the shower
And make it go away
This [Dm]fad[G]ing w[C]orld
My l[Dm]ovel[G]y g[C]irl
And I know that you're 17
And I'm just an aging dandy
The world is light and dark
And we live in between
When I was a boy
I wandered the streets of downtown
Staring at the sky
And feeling that I didn't belong
In a world where the gentle seem wrong
And teeth get knocked out on Sundays
I lay down in the shower
And make it go away
This fading world
My lovely girl
This fading world
My lovely girl
'Cause I know that you're 17
And I'm just an aging dandy
The world is light and dark
And we live in between
And [G]show me to all your f[C]amily
[Am]I don't care [Dm]about
The f[G7]ool that it makes me s[C]eem
'Cause I [Am]know that you're [Dm]17
And I'[G]m just an aging [C]dandy
The [Am]world is light and [Dm]dark
And [G]we live in betw[Am]een
When I was a boy
I wandered the streets of downtown
Staring at the sky
And feeling that I didn't belong
In a world where the gentle seem wrong
And teeth get knocked out on Sundays
I lay down in the shower
And make it go away
This [Dm]fad[G]ing w[C]orld
My l[Dm]ovel[G]y g[C]irl
And I know that you're 17
And I'm just an aging dandy
The world is light and dark

And feeling that I didn't belong
In a world where the gentle seem wrong
And teeth get knocked out on Sundays

This fading world
My lovely girl
This fading world
My lovely girl
'Cause I know that you're 17
And I'm just an aging dandy
The world is light and dark
And we live in between
