Somebody Lied

Terry Kelleher - 2010

G                             C
They told me that I'd made it. That I'm on the downhill side.
D                          C          G
Brought myself this far in life But now it's a free ride.
                             C
My Climbing days are over. And I've crossed that great divide.
D          G
     Somebody Lied

I've hit that big five zero. A magic year I’m told.
You start that mid-life stride, but I'm just feeling old.
They said I'd have an empty nest, but home again they've strolled.

Bridge
C G
They lied when they told me I'd see clear skies from here.
A7 D
But I'm juggling four pairs a glasses, can't figure which ones to wear.

and I used to like a little high, just recreationally
But now my bathroom counter looks like a pharmacy.
And what's that thing the doctor said, "Colonoscopy"?

C           G         D           G
       I want my youth back.            Somebody Lied.
C           G               D         G
       Could you speak up a bit?             Somebody Lied.
C           G         D           G
       God, my knees hurt               Somebody Lied
