Fmaj7                    Em7
Advice for the young at heart
                Fmaj7
Soon we will be older
                      Em7
When we gonna make it work?

Fmaj7                              Em7
Too many people living in a secret world
                Fmaj7
While they play mothers and fathers
                        Em7  Dm7
We play little boys and girls
                      Cmaj7
When we gonna make it work?
Fmaj7
I could be happy
                  Em7
I could be quite naïve
          Fmaj7
It's only me and my shadows
                    Em7
Happy in our make believe
Soon...

Gm7           A#
And with the hounds at bay
     D9sus4
I'll call your bluff
Gm7              A#
Cos it would be okay
   D9sus4
To walk on tiptoes every day

Chorus:
            C7                       A#
And when I think of you and all the love that's due
            D9sus4                 F
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
              C7                            A#
Cos to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
              D9sus4                  D7
We've got the whole wide world in our hands

Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?

Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?

Love is promise, love is a souvenir
Once given
Never forgotten, never let it disappear
This could be our last chance
When we gonna make it work?
Working hour is over

And how it makes me weep
Cause someone sent my soul to sleep

Chorus:
And when I think of you and all the love that's due
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
Cause to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We've got the whole wide world in our hands

Am7                                 A#
We got the whole wide world in our hands
                               A#  Am7
We got the whole wide world in our hands

Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?

Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?

Working hour is over
We can do anything that we want
Anything that we feel like doing
"Advice..."
