[Verses]
Fm D# C# C#maj7 C#
As far as my eyes can see
Fm D# C# C#maj7 C#/G#
There are shadows approaching me
G#m D#
And to those I left behind
F# C#
I wanted you to know
C#m G#m
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
A# D#
You follow where I go
G#m D#m C#m G#m
And oooooooh when I'm old and wise
C#m G#m
Bitter words mean little to me
A# D#
Autumn winds will blow right through me
G#m D#m C#m G#m
And someday in the midst of time
C#m G#m
When they asked me if I knew you
A# D# E
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
F# D#m G#m F#
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
E F# G#
Oh when I'm old and wise
Fm D# C# C#maj7 C#
As far as my eyes can see
Fm D# C# C#maj7 C#/G#
There are shadows surrounding me
G#m D#
And to those I leave behind
F# C#
I wanted you to know
C#m G#m
You've always shared my darkest hours
A# D#
I'll miss you when I go
G#m D#m C#m G#m
And oooooooh when I'm old and wise
C#m G#m
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
A# D#
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
G#m D#m C#m G#m
And someday in the mist of time
C#m G#m
When they asked you if you knew me
A# D# E
Remember that you were a friend of mine
F# D#m G#m F#
As the final curtains falls before my eyes
E F# G#
Oh when I'm old and wise
Fm D# C# C#maj7 C# F
