Chords in this song4

Verse 1

Line One is the time
when you, you first stayed over at mine.
And we drank our first bottle of wine.
Then we cried.

Verse 2

Two, we're away,
and we both, we both had nowhere to stay.
Well, the bus shelter's always okay,
when you're young.

Bridge

Now you're older and I look at your face,
Every wrinkle is so easy to place,
And I only write them down just in case
You should die.

Chorus

Just take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes,
Sixty twenty-fifth of Decembers,
Fifty-nine fourth of Julys.
Not through the age or the failure children,
Not through the hate or despise.
Take a good look at these crows feet,
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Verse 3

Line Three, I forget,
But I think, I think it was our first ever bet,
And the horse we backed was short of a leg -
Never mind

Verse 4

Four, in a park,
And the things, the things that people do in the dark.
I could hear the faintest beat of your heart
Then we did.

Bridge

Now you're older and I look at your face,
Every wrinkle is so easy to place,
And I only write them down just in case
You should die.

Chorus

Just take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes,
Sixty twenty-fifth of Decembers,
Fifty-nine fourth of Julys.
You can't have too many good times children
You can't have too many lines
Take a good look at these crows feet,
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Outro

Well, my eyes look like a map of the town
And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown
But you'll never hear the crack of a frown when you are here
No, you'll never hear the crack of a frown.
Of a frown...
