Artist: Dar Williams
[C]How can I ask love to hold the [F]mystery
When just [Dm]look at me
It's all [Em]push and pull col[F]lateral
I [C]don't want to be the one that gets the [F]next surprise
I'll plan it [Dm]out this time
Though I [Em]used to think that things were meant to [F]be
[CHORUS]
Fare[C]well to the [F]old me
Fare[C]well to the [F]old me
My [Dm]life is working better now
But [Em]always changing [F]anyhow
I [C]danced a lot of nights until the [F]grass was wet
It wasn't [Dm]over yet
'Round 'bout [Em]3 a.m. you [F]made a friend
And I [C]followed a lot of vital crazy [F]thoughts because
It's where the [Dm]meaning was
And I [Em]tried to find it every other [F]way
[CHORUS]
Fare[C]well to the [F]old me
Fare[C]well to the [F]old me
My [Dm]life is working better now
But [Em]always changing [F]any, any[C]how [F] [C] [F]
But [C]I can turn on the charm and show them [F]nothing more
Than what I've [Dm]done before
It's [Em]nothing much new, but [F]it'll do
'Cause I [C]don't wanna be the one who makes you [F]laugh out loud
I wanna [Dm]make you proud
And you [Em]always said you knew what I could [F]be
[CHORUS]
Fare[C]well to the [F]old me
Fare[C]well to the [F]old me
My [Dm]life is working better now
But [Em]always changing [F]any, any[C]how
Time and the [F]old me
Fare[C]well to the [F]old me
Fare[C]well
When just [Dm]look at me
It's all [Em]push and pull col[F]lateral
I [C]don't want to be the one that gets the [F]next surprise
I'll plan it [Dm]out this time
Though I [Em]used to think that things were meant to [F]be
[CHORUS]
Fare[C]well to the [F]old me
