A#        F      C
When you fall asleep,
      A#    F
with your head,
  Dm       Am
upon my shoulder.
     A#     F     C
When you're in my arms,
     A#     F      Dm      Am
but you've gone somewhere deeper.

     A#               C    Dm
Are you going to age with grace?
     A#               C  Dm      Am
Are you going to age without mistakes?
     A#               C    Dm
Are you going to age with grace?
   A#           C    Dm        C
Or only to wake and hide your face?

Chorus:
     A#    F
When oblivion
     Dm     A#       F
Is calling out your name
    C               Dm
You always take it further
     A#      F
Than I ever can

When you play it hard
And I try to follow you there
It's not about control
But I turn back when I see where you go

Are you going to age with grace?
Are you going to leave a path to trace?

Chorus - x2
