[Intro]
   C              Dm/C
As I approach the prime of my life
G7              C
I find I have the time of my life
C             Am7b5
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
G
All the simple pleasure
Dm       Fm         C
And so I happily concede
A7            Dm7
This is all I ask
G7            C
This is all I need

[Verse]
          Cmaj7  A7                            Dm G7   C C/G
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
          Cmaj7 A7 Dm7              G7           C  C/G B7sus4/F#
Lingering sunset,  stay a little longer with the lonely sea
B7            Em     Em/B     Em                A7
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
        D7
Take me to that strange enchanted land
Dm7/A    G7
Grownups seldom understand
 
[Outro]
          Cmaj7     A7                          Dm  G7   C   C/G
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
             Cmaj7 A7 Dm7               G7
Stars in the sky,     make my wish come true
           C         E
Before the night has flown
                  F       B7/D#             C       A7
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
    Dm          G                 D# D C# C D# D C# C
And I will stay younger than spring
