Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

What has life to offer me when I grow old?

What's there to look forward to beyond the biting cold

('Cause) They say it's difficult, yes, stereotypical.

What's there beyond sleep, eat, work in this cruel life

Ain't there nothin' else 'round here but human strife

'Cause they say it's difficult, yes, stereotypical

Gotta be conventional, you can't be so radical.

Chorus

(So I'll/And) sing this song to all of (my/our) age

For these are the questions we've got to face

For in this cycle that we call life

We are the ones who are next in line

We are next in line.

Repeat 1st verse using G#m7 in place of EM9

Gotta be conventional, you can't be so radical.

Repeat Chorus, except last line, using chord pattern E-G#m7-A-Bsus-B-

We are next in line

Oh-hoh, we are next in line.

Bridge

And we gotta work, we gotta feel (we gotta feel)

Let's open our eyes and do whatever it takes

We gotta work, we gotta feel (we gotta feel)

Let's open our eyes, oh-woh.
