Intro: G* G   G*   G    G* G   G*   G 


verse 1: 

The doorknob needs mending 
C                    ~ Am 
Letters need sending 
                   D 
The kitchen's a disgrace 
Am                    D 
Grease all over the place 


verse 2: 
  G 
I see your pretty picture 
            C                   ~ Am 
The one you gave me last Easter 
                D 
Has a moustache drawn in green 
           Am                     D 
Where your lipstick should have been 


 
    G                            Em         C     Am 
You never think of time, 'til it passes you by 
               D     Am                  D 
Never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry 
    G                              Em          C       Am 
You never count the days, 'til the nights grow cold 
                   D              Am             D 
Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old 



verse 3: 
    G 
The ashtrays are brimful 
   C                  ~ Am 
My secrets are sinful 
              D 
And I drink a lot now 
         Am               D 
It's the only friend I've got now 


verse 4: 
    G 
I'd write you a letter 
              C                  ~ Am 
But there's a hole in my sweater 
              D 
And I need to mend it 
     Am                        D 
So I wouldn't have the time to send it 

 
    G                            Em         C     Am 
You never think of time, 'til it passes you by 
               D     Am                  D 
Never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry 
    G                              Em          C       Am 
You never count the days, 'til the nights grow cold 
                   D              Am             D 
Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old 



VERSE 5: 
  G 
I could not live with you 
         C                   ~ Am 
But it's so hard without you 
               D 
I'm a helpless case 
  Am               D 
A misfit social disgrace 


VERSE 6: 
G 
Maybe next century 
     C                 ~ Am 
I'll come to my senses 
                    D 
Work out the reason why 
    Am                             D 
You never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry 


    G                            Em         C     Am 
You never think of time, 'til it passes you by 
               D     Am                  D 
Never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry 
    G                              Em          C       Am 
You never count the days, 'til the nights grow cold 
                   D              Am             D 
Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old
