Verse 1

If I could lie, I would lie, I would lie to you

tell you things I know I could never do

If I could swear, I would swear up and down these walls

yell it out, I'd scream it loud, do it just because

Chorus

I hope it's getting old, and the waves come washing cold

I hope it's getting old to you

cause a boy is just a boy until he leaves

 don't go waiting up for me

Intro

Verse 2

same chord progression as verse 1):

If I'd have known what I know that I knew back then

I'd build it up, stuff it in , and turn around again

I'd write a book on the edge of the finest line

sell them all, I'd be so rich, I'd be so rich that I

Chorus

I hope it's getting old, and the waves come washing cold

I hope it's getting old to you

cause a man is just a man until he's gone

 don't go waiting here for long
