Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

If we're both not married by twenty-two

Could I be so bold and ask you?

If we're both not married by twenty-three

 Will you make my year, and ask me?

If we're both not married by twenty-four

Will you pass me those knee pads and I'll get on the floor

If we're both not married by twenty-five

I hope that there's some childish spark still alive

 Cos there are so many lessons

 That I just never cared to learn

 And there are so many questions that still burn, like

Will you hold my hand when I go?

Will you hold my hand when I go?

Will you hold my hand when I go?

Will you hold my hand when I go?

If I get to thirty and I don't have a wife

I'll ask you nicely but I won't ask twice

If I get to forty and I don't have a spouse

I'll fashion you a letter and I'll send it to your house

If I get to sixty will you let me slip away

Into an armchair for the rest of my days

Cos you've got your family and I've got mine

The love that we share is for another time

Cos there are so many lessons

That I just never get to learn

And there are so many questions that still burn, like

Will you hold my hand when I go?

Will you hold my hand when I go?

Will you hold my hand when I go?

Will you hold my hand when I go?
