 A                            C    
 I was never young, even as a child
      A                
 Said I was never young
                    C     
 I've always felt beguiled
     D            A     
 Oh, I just never smiled
 
 Bbaug Bm
 But you have a glow
 Dnaj7 G 
   
 
 Because I was never young, even as a boy
 No, I was never young
 Kindness seemed no ploy to temper or annoy
 
 But you, you have a mind
 Full of wonderment I'll never find
 Because I was never young

 I've been a brooding basket case

 Ever since I was a kid
      Bb                         
 I've been a brooding basket case
