Mrs. Stadler
A Dm
your hair is turning grey,
F Cm
I heard about yourself today,
Eb D7
I didn't wanna leave that way, oh oh oh.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb A7
If you see me again,
will you still be my friend?
Dm G7 Bb
(Why must we grow older, older?)
A7
And when we meet again,
just after freedom ends,
Dm G7 Bb
(When the world is almost over, over)
A7
will everything still be the same?

Dm G7
I come in peace (I come in peace),
Cmaj7
to drink your wine (to drink your wine)

and find myself in photographs.
Dm G7
We're all crossing (we're all crossing)
Cmaj7
the starting line (the starting line),
A7
it hurts my head to think of this.
Dm G7
I want to be (I want to be)
Cmaj7
a space in time (a space in time).
