A          B
You can keep the good times righteousness
E                  F#m
  The best parting line
            A              B  E      F#m
Rather then pretend we are A1   ultrafine
               A             B        E         F#m
Shall I be the first then to say what   we have found
                     A            B            E         F#m
There's something in our lifetime won't let us    settle down

[Chorus]

Darling it's a life of surprises
             C#m           A        F#m
It's no help growing older or wiser
                  C#m                A      F#m
You don't have to pretend you're not crying
                  C#m                 A       F#m
When it's even in the way that you're walking

[Verse 2]
               A             B        E         F#m
Never let your conscience be harmful    to your health
                A       B            E      F#m
Let no neurotic impulse turn inward    on itself
                  A           B        E       F#m
Just say that you were happy, as happy   would allow
                  A         B            E         F#m
And tell yourself that that will have to    do for now

                  C#m                 A         F#m
When it's even in the way that you're walking - Baby talking
