[C#]The old man is laughing to[F#]night
[G#]He's young beyond his [C#]fears
[D#m]But then the smile drops from his eyes [G#]and we all wind up in tears
The old man's crying tonight
Cause it all happened so fast
He's frightened by the future, embarrassed by the past

Chorus:
[D#m]So let him be who he w[G#]ants to be
Cause he ain't [C#]ever gonna be young a[Bbm]gain
[D#m]And let him see who he n[G#]eeds to see
Cause he [C#]never had too many fr[Bbm]iends
[D#m]And ask him how he rem[G#]embers me
Cause [C#]I want to know where I [Bbm]stand
[F#]How I [G#]love my old [C#]man
The old man's restless tonight
Just trying to kill his pain
He believes what he says he believes but that don't make him a saint
The old man's lonesome tonight
And he just wants to go home
All those fools who stand in his way why can't they leave him alone
