D              D6                    Dmaj7  D
The taste of a cigarette in Paris in spring
      Bm            Bm6                  Bm7     Bm
Conversation with elders and the wisdom they bring
 G               G6          Gmaj7    G
Sunrise in Georgia as holy choirs sing
     A                   A6                   A7  A
The view from an aeroplane at twelve thousand feet

Meet God on a mountaintop along with the stars
Find love somewhere, anywhere, fall deep from
the start
Misplace my mind and follow my heart
See the cosmos unfolding and know I'm a part

Chorus:
Dmaj7               D7sus4 D9
I'll sleep when I'm older
         Dmaj7
When the world's got me weathered
                         D7sus4 D9
I'll finally find my way home
Fmaj9/A Cmaj7/G      Fmaj7 Cmaj9/E Dmaj7
I'll    sleep when I'm older
               Dmaj7
Sleep when I'm older

I'll be a firework, not a flickering flame
Treat life all around me like a one-player game
I'll go to the party and forget all the names
Should it come back to haunt me,
it ends all the same

Chorus:
I'll sleep when I'm older
When the world's got me weathered
I'll finally find my way home
I'll sleep when I'm older
(Older)

I'll sleep when I'm older
I'll sleep when I'm older
I'll sleep when I'm older
Sleep when I'm older
