[Verse 1]

Am                  Asus2
He never closed his eyes
                Am
Or so we theorized
                      Asus2
But we were young and bold
                  G
And he was mostly old
F                   G
And his time nearly done

Am                  Asus2
He came back from a war
                  Am
On some forgotten shore
                        Asus2
And sat and watched the world
                 G
And never said a word
F                  G
And so I asked for one


[Chorus]

Am
Watching waiting
                G
Old man tell me what have we become
F
Oh...oh
Am
Anticipating
               G
All the hating that was yet undone
F                                    Am
He turned around and stared into the sun


[Verse 2]

Am                      Asus2
He fought for things so clear
                       Am
And never thought he'd fear
                 Asus2
A brother or his child
                  G
Or killing having style
F                G
Watch the colors run


[Chorus]

Am
Watching waiting
                G
Old man tell me what have we become
F
Oh...oh
Am
Anticipating
               G
All the hating that was yet undone
F                                    Am
He turned around and stared into the sun


[Verse 3]

Am              Asus2
And now he only hears
                   Am
His eyes they only tear
                   Asus2
So tread most carefully
                     G
For he's still listening
F                G
Watch the colors run


[Chorus]

Am
Watching waiting
                G
Old man tell me what have we become
F
Oh...yea-yyea-yeah
Am
Anticipating
               G
All the hating that was yet undone
F                                    Am
He turned around and stared into the sun
