Em         C    D                Am
What have you achieved now you're old
Em                 C       D             Am
Did you fulfill ambition, do as you were told
C                         Bm 
Or are you still doing the same this year
C                         Am
Should I give sorrow, or turn 'round and sneer


Em   C          D                       Am
I know that the prospects weren't all that good
Em          C                   D                Am
But they improved, and I'd have thought that you could
C                                      Bm
Have strived for that something we all have deep inside
C                    Am     
Not let it vanish, along with your pride


Em           C           D            Am
Now with the aid of your new walking stick
Em         C               D       Am
You hobble along through society thick
C                            Bm
And look mesmerized by the face of it all
C                       Am 
You keep to the gutter in case you fall

Em         C
I can't go on
D          Am
I can't go on
Em         C
I can't go on
D          Am
I can't go on
C  Bm C  Am
I, I, I, I...
