G Am7 D7 G D/F#
I don't want to ride... the milk train any - more,
Emsus2 Am7 B7 Em Em7/D
I'll go to bed at nine, and waken with the dawn,
Cmaj7 G D/F# Emsus2
And lunch at half past noon, dinner prompt at five,
G D/F# Em Em7/D Cmaj7
The comfort of a few old friends, long passed their prime!
Am7 A7 A7sus4 A7
Pass the tea and sympathy, for the good old days long gone,
Cmaj7 G D/F# Em7 Bm
We'll drink a toast to those who most be - lieve in what they've won,
Am7 A7 A7sus4 A7
It's a long, long time till morning plays wasted on the dawn,
G D/F# Em Em7/D D7 G C/G G C/G
I'll not write a - nother line, for my true love is gone!
G Am7 D7 G D/F#
And when the guests have done, I'll tidy up the rooms,
Emsus2 Am7 B7 Em Em7/D
I'll turn the covers down, and gazing at the moon,
Cmaj7 G D/F# Em
I'll pray to go quite mad, and live in long a - go,
G D/F# Em Em7/D Cmaj7
When you and I were one, so very long ago!
Am7 A7 A7sus4 A7
Pass the tea and sympathy, for the good old days long gone,
Cmaj7 G D/F# Em7 Bm
Let's drink a toast to those who most be - lieve in what they've won,
Am7 A7 A7sus4 A7
It's a long, long time till morning lays wasted on the dawn,
G D/F# Em Cmaj7 D7 G C/G G C/G
I'll not write a - nother line, for my true love is gone!
G Am7 D7 G D/F#
And when I have no dreams to give you any - more,
Emsus2 Am7 B7 Em Em7/D
I'll light a blazing fire, and wait within the door,
Cmaj7 G D/F# Em7 Bm
And throw my life a - way, 'I wonder why!' they all will say,
Am7 Cmaj7 D7 G
Now I lay me down to sleep for - ever, and a day!
Am7 A7 A7sus4 A7
Pass the tea and sympathy, for the good old days are dead,
Cmaj7 G D/F# Em7 Bm
Let's drink a toast to those who best sur - vived the life they've lead,
Am7 A7 A7sus4 A7
It's a long, long time till morning, so build your fires high,
G D/F# Em Cmaj7
Now I lay me down to sleep,
D7 Bb C G C/G G
For - ever by your side!
