Standard (EADGBE)

Help the aged

One time they were just like you

Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue

Help the aged

Don't just put them in a home

Can't have much fun when their all on their own

Give a hand if you can

Try and help them to unwind

Give them hope and give them comfort

Cos they're running out of time

In the meantime we try

Try to forget that nothing lasts forever

No big deal - so give us all a feel

Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise

It's time you took an older lover baby?

Teach you stuff - although he's looking rough

Funny how it all falls away

Help the aged

Cos one day you'll be older too

You might need someone who can pull you through

And if you look very hard

Behind those lines upon their face

You may see where you are headed

And it's such a lonely place

In the meantime we try, ha

Try to forget that nothing lasts forever

No big deal - so give us all a feel

Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise

It's time you took an older lover baby?

Teach you stuff - although he's looking rough

Funny how it all falls away

Oh

You can dye your hair

But it's the one thing you can change

Can't run away from yourself

Yourself

Your se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-seooohh

In the meantime we try (ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Try to forget that nothing lasts forever

No big deal - so give us all a feel

Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise

It's time you took an older lover baby?

Teach you stuff - although he's looking rough

Funny how it all falls away

Oh it's funny how it all falls away

Funny how it all falls away

Oh it's funny how it all

It all falls away

So help the aged
