Help the aged
                   C
One time they were just like you
                           G
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue

Help the aged
Don't just put them in a home
Can't have much fun when their all on their own

       C
Give a hand if you can
        G
Try and help them to unwind
          C
Give them hope and give them comfort
            G
Cos they're running out of time

G
In the meantime we try
B
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
C                        D
No big deal - so give us all a feel
C                       G
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise
It's time you took an older lover baby?
Teach you stuff - although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away

Help the aged
Cos one day you'll be older too
You might need someone who can pull you through

And if you look very hard
Behind those lines upon their face
You may see where you are headed
And it's such a lonely place

In the meantime we try, ha
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal - so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise
It's time you took an older lover baby?
Teach you stuff - although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away

Oh
C
You can dye your hair
             G         D       C
But it's the one thing you can change
                        D
Can't run away from yourself
Yourself
Your se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-seooohh

In the meantime we try (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal - so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise
It's time you took an older lover baby?
Teach you stuff - although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Oh it's funny how it all falls away
Funny how it all falls away
Oh it's funny how it all
It all falls away
