Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F Bb Bb/A Bb
[Verse]
Bb Bb/A Gm
Slow down,
F Eb F
we've got time left to be lazy
Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
Eb Dm
I don't care to beg your pardon,
Cm F
We should live
Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F Bb Bb/A Bb
until we die.
[Chorus]
Bb Bb/A Gm Dm Eb F
We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts.
Eb Dm Cm F
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
Bb Bb/A Gm
and then you turned, put out your hand,
F Eb F
and you asked me to dance.
Eb Dm Cm F
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
[Verse]
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Eb F
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
Bb Bb/A Gm
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F Bb Bb/A Bb
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
[Instrumental]
Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F Bb Bb/A Bb
[Verse]
Bb Bb/A Gm Dm Eb F
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
Eb Dm Cm F
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
Bb Bb/A Gm F
and now he's turning to a man,
Eb F
although he thinks just like his mother,
Eb Dm Cm F
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
Bb Bb/A Gm
And even though she moved away,
F Eb F
we always get calls from our daughter.
Eb Dm
She has eyes just like her father's
Cm F
they are blue when skies are grey
Bb Bb/A Gm F
And just like him, she never stops,
Eb F
Never takes the day for granted,
Eb Dm
works for everything that's handed to her,
Cm F
Never once complains.
[Chorus]
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
You think that I nearly lost you
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
When the doctors tried to take you away.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
Eb F
thirty years ago
Bb
to this day
Eb F
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
Bb Bb/A Gm
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
Eb F Bb Bb/A Gm F Eb F Bb Bb/A Bb
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.

Eb Dm Cm Dm Eb F
Eb Dm Cm F
[Verse]
Bb Bb/A Gm F
You come home from work
Eb F
and you kiss me on the eye
Eb Dm Cm F
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
Bb Bb/A Gm F
and so we move all to the garden
Eb F
look at everything we've owned
Eb Dm
now the kids are coming home
Cm Dm Eb F
so I set the table
Bb
You can make the fire.

the tab is correct... if you hear the sound of the notes on the youtube video you'll see that he change the song tune... simply compare playing with the original version
