[Verse 1]
Cmaj9             C9
       Where am i going?
       Fmaj7/C
Have I gone to far
       Fm6/C
Have I lost my mind
Cmaj9             C11
     Where are my eyes
          Fmaj7/C
Oh have I seen to much
       Fm/C
Have I lost my touch
 
 
[Chorus]
C/G          Db/Gb         Eb/F         F/Eb
Losing di-   rections from growing in-  fections
Dm7   A/D     Dm7     Cb+5/Db     Cb/Db    Cb-5/Db
Poi   soned   de-     si          ires     of
Gb13     Gb9+5   Gb9     Gb13   F/G .........................
rea      ping    life    so     young
 
Gb/Ab ......................... B/C# ................................... A/B
 
 
[Verse 2]
Cmaj9              Bbmaj7/C
       What will I be    like
        F/C
When my head is bear
       Fm/C
And my legs are weak
Cmaj9           Bbmaj7/C      F#9                Fmaj7
      Will I be stro-o-ong          or barely    keep alive
         Fm
When I'm thirty-five
C/G           Db/Gb         Eb/F          F/Eb
Reaching di-  mensions that shatter con-  ventions
Dm7     A/D     Dm7       Cb+5/Db    Cb/Db    Cb-5/Db
Leads   me      to        fear       that     I'm
C7+5+9       C9+5       C7+5-9     C7+5+9
grow         ing        old        too

[Bridge]
                 Cm9            Cm6/9
With ev   'ry    step and every breath
     G/A                              Gmaj7/A
It's farther from youth and closer to death
        Emaj7/F#
And the things I've realized
           Fmaj7/G
Now beckon me to shut my eyes
           Cmaj9       C11    F#9           Fmaj7
And I will grow to the age         of maybe eighty years
   Fm6
In such little time
          Cmaj9
With this venturous  mind
 
C11   Fmaj7   Fm6
