[E ]If we'[A]we're b[E]both not married by twenty-two
[E ]Could [A]I be so [B]bold and ask you?
[A ]If we[B]'re both[E] no[Esus2]t marri[Dbm]ed by twenty-three
Will you [A ]make my y[B]year, and[E]and ask me?
[E ]If we'[A]we're both no[E]not married by twenty-four
[E ]Will you pass me those k[A]knee pads and I'l[B]I'll get on the floor
[A ]If we[B]'re both[E] no[Esus2]t marri[Dbm]ed by twenty-five
[A ]I hope that th[B]there's some c[E]childish spark still alive
Cos there [A]are so many [E]lessons
That I [A]just never cared t[E]to learn
And there [A]are so many [E]questions that still [B]burn, like
[E]Will you hold my [A]hand when I[E]I go?
[E]Will you hold my [A]hand when I[E]I go?
[E]Will you hold my [A]hand when I[E]I go?
[E]Will you hold my [Dbm]hand w[A]when I [E]go?
-same chord progression throughout the song-
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 [A]are so many [E]lessons
That I [A]just never cared t[E]to learn
And there [A]are so many [E]questions that still [B]burn, like
[E]Will you hold my [A]hand when I[E]I go?
[E]Will you hold my [A]hand when I[E]I go?
[E]Will you hold my [A]hand when I[E]I go?
[E]Will you hold my [Dbm]hand w[A]when I [E]go?
