 He said, son why you got to sing that tune
 Bb
 Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
         Gm
 Let an angel swing and make you swoon
      Eb               F
 Then you will see, you will see

       Eb                F
 Now talk to me, come talk to me
 
 (Pre-Chorus)  
           Bb
 He said, Dad I’m big but we’re smaller than small
 Bb
 In the scheme of things, well we’re nothing at all
               Gm
 Still every mother’s child sings a lonely song

 So play with me, come play with me

 Reason for the world…
        Bb
 Who am I?
 
 (Bridge)
   Eb           F            Bb                   Gm
 There are secrets that we still have left to find
   Eb                F                 Bb             Ab
 There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
   Eb         F                Bb       Bbmaj7      C7
 There are answers we’re not wise enough to see
               Eb                             F
 He said you looking for a clue I love you free

 The batter swings and the summer flies
   Bb
 As I look into my angel’s eyes
     Gm                                   Eb
 A song plays on while the moon is high over me
              F
 Something comes over me
 
 (Chorus)
 Bb
 I guess we’re big and I guess we’re small
 Bb
 If you think about it man you know we got it all
               Gm
 Cause we’re all we got on this bouncing ball
         Eb
 And I love you free
     F
 I love you freely
 
 [OUTRO]
 Eb         F
 Here’s a riddle for you
 Bb           Gm

Lyrics


I’m fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I’m twenty two for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we’re on fire
Making our way back from Mars
Fifteen there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
I’m thirty three for a moment
Still the man, but you see I’m of age
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I’m forty five for a moment
The sea is high
And I’m heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
Fifteen there’s still time for you
Time to buy, time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
Fifteen I’m all right with you
Fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
Sixty seven is gone
The sun is getting high
We’re moving on
I’m ninety nine for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
Fifteen there’s still time for you
Twenty two I feel her too
Thirty three you’re on your way
Every day’s a new day
Fifteen there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
