Capo on 2nd fret
(4th fret if you play the album version
instead of the acoustic one).
Verse:
Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now
or, darling, have you started feeling old yet?
Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
with the efficiency that only youth can harness.
And do you still think love is a laserquest?
Or do you take it all too seriously?
I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had,
but you're always busy being make-believe.
Chorus:
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there?
Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered?
Well I'm not being honest, I'll pretend
that you were just some lover.
Verse:
Now I can't think of there without thinking of you,
I doubt that comes as a surprise.
And I can't think of anything to dream about,
I can't find anywhere to hide.
Chorus:
And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes
and I convince myself I need another.
And for a minute it gets easier to pretend
that you were just some lover.
Bridge:
Chorus:
When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair,
singing dreadful songs about summer.
Well I've found a better method of pretending
you were just some lover.
Well I've found a better method of pretending
you were just some lover...
