10 - Nobody gets Old

[Intro | piano chords and strings, claps build] [Verse 1] No grey hairs, no lines, no scars Same young faces under the stars Wrinkles wiped and time erased Nobody ages, nobody's traced [Pre-Chorus | strings rise] Wave goodbye to the wise and slow 'Cause nobody, nobody gets old [Chorus] Nobody gets old, nobody gets old Same shiny story, never told Forever young and never wise Nobody gets old before they die (Nobody gets old) Nobody, nobody gets old [Verse 2] No grandmother's hands, no fireside tale No one who weathered, no one who's frail Threw out the elders, kept the gloss Never counted what it cost [Pre-Chorus] Wave goodbye to the wise and slow 'Cause nobody, nobody gets old [Chorus] Nobody gets old, nobody gets old Same shiny story, never told Forever young and never wise Nobody gets old before they die (Nobody gets old) Nobody, nobody gets old [Bridge | breakdown, female voice leads] But my grandfather's hand on a yellowed page Every crease a turning age He read me time, he read me through — I'd give the gloss for one of you [Final Chorus | full euphoria, counter-voice trading] Nobody gets old — and we lost so much Nobody gets old — I miss the touch Give me the lines, give me the years Give me the wise, give me the tears (Give me the years) Nobody, nobody gets old [Outro | strings ring, groove dips into Track 11]
