Capo on 5th fret
G Em C D
Growing up with my family, in a quieter time
G Em C D
Sit around the fireplace talk into the night
Am C G Em
The television came and we pushed the chairs right back
C D G
Like the curtain closing at the end of an act
Chorus:
G Em Am C D
She said, the World has changed since I was your age x 2
Am D G Em
You say you spend time with each other but you’ve never been more apart
C D G
Get your minds together go back to the start
I’ve seen so many changes since I was your age
Every day it seems to me, we write a brand new page
Everyone’s looking down and I just want to say
Lift your head up high cos it’s a wonderful day
No internet, no takeaway food, no supermarkets, no being rude,
No refrigerators or telephones, you couldn’t keep ice cream at home
Life was different way back then, we seemed to have more time for friends.
But you know it will be alright in the end.
