Growing Older But Not Up chords

[INTRO]
[G#m7] [A] [B] [E]

[VERSE]

[E]I rounded first never thought of the worst
As I [B]studied the shortstop's position
[B7]Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg
Someone [E]call a decent physician
[A]I'm no Pete Rose,[G#m7]I can't pre[A]tend
Though my mind is quite[E] flexible, these [B7]brittle bones don't [E]bend

[CHORUS]
I'm growing[E] older but not up
My metabolic [B7]rate is pleasantly stuck
Let those w[G#m7]inds of time blow [A]over my head
I'd rather [B]die while I'm living than live [B7]while I[E]'m dead[B7]

[VERSE]

[E]Sometimes I see me as an old manatee
Headin' [B]south as the waters grow colder
[B7]Tries to steer clear of the hum-drum so near
It cuts [E]prop scars deep in his shoulder
But [A]that's how it goes (that's how it goes), [G#m7]right to the e[A]nd
Though his body's quite [E]flexible, that b[B7]arnacle brain don't [E]bend

[CHORUS]

I'm growing [E]older but not up
My metabolic [B7]rate is pleasantly stuck
Let those [G#m7]winds of time blow o[A]ver my head
I'd rather [B]die while I'm living than live [B7]while I[E]'m dead[B7]

[SOLO]

Now [E]don't get me wrong
[E]This is not a sad song
Just ev[B]ents that I have happened to witness
And [B7]time takes its toll as we head for the poll
And no [E]one dies from physical fitness
So [A]what the hell, we'll take it [G#m7]right to the [A]end
As the days grow more [E]complicated the [B7]nightlife still [E]wins

[CHORUS]

I'm growing [E]older but not up
My metabolic [B7]rate is pleasantly stuck
Let those [G#m7]winds of change blow [A]over my head
I'd rather [B]die while I'm living than live [B7]while [E]I'm de[B7]ad
Let those [G#m7]winds of time blow [A]over my head
I'd rather [B]die while I'm living than [A]li[G#m] -ve [F#m]whil[E]e [B7]I'm [E]dead
