I'm Forty Now

[Verso 1]
 
C                         C7            F 
There were barefoot dreams of catching outlaws 
           G7                            C 
There were school dreams of catching footballs 
                       C7          F 
There were young dreams of finding great romance 
           D7           G7 
There were armies and I took the chance 

           C                         F 
There were avenues of glory and some deep despair 
         C                G7           C   F  C 
That put subtle shades of silver in my hair

          F              C 
We'll I'm forty now and I'm a man 
                       A7              D7            G 
But I can't resist the urge to put dreams in my plans 
C                C7           F 
So many hopeless dreams and I broke some vows 
      C               G7           C   G7  C 
Maybe life begins for me I'm forty now 
 


[Verso 2]
 
           C            C7              F 
There were summer nights and there were good days 
         G7               C 
Life was water and I made waves 
                         F 
Oh I was crazy then so I made some breaks 
      D7               G7 
Maybe God can look the other way 


       C                  C7        F 
Either good outweighs the bad or we forget the bad 
    C                    G7                C  G7 C 
I'm thankful for the few friends that I've had

But I can't resist the urge to put dreams in my plans 
C                C7           F 
So many hopeless dreams and I broke some vows 
      C               G7           C   G7  C 
Maybe life begins for me I'm forty now
