The People You See Regularly Never Grow Old Composer: Henning Ohlenbusch Album: Gentle Hen - The Bells on the Boats on the Bay https://youtu.be/vm_UhWuEUXM [verse] G It’s strange to see you in this place out of place. G I’m looking for you underneath that grown-up face. C G I wouldn’t have recognized you if I hadn’t been told. D C Am G The people you see regularly never grow old. D C Am G The people you hang out with, well, they never grow old. [verse] G I went to look for you in our hometown. G Checked all the secret spots but you were not around. C G Went to your parents’ house, it had long since been sold. D C Am G The people you see regularly never grow old. D C Am G The people you hang out with, well, they never grow old. [verse] G Was that? It had to be. Your face in black and white, G Staring at me hauntingly from the newspaper last night. C G You look so good and strange, just beneath the fold. D C Am G The people you see regularly never grow old. D C Am G The people you hang out with, well, they never grow old. [chorus] C D Bm Em You look the same as you did when we met. So many years ago by now C D G G7 You cannot see the hour hand has moved until you look away. C D Bm Em Do I look the way I did when we met? I know that I have changed a lot. C D G But when you look at me, which me do you see? [verse] G You walk into the place just like you always do. G I’d barely know the place if it weren’t for you. C G You’re famous sweater with its stripes of green and gold D C Am G The people you see regularly never grow old. D C Am G The people you hang out with, well, they never grow old. [verse] G You look exactly the same as you did when we first met G I remember all our friend couldn’t believe we hadn’t met yet C G We stayed outside and talked so long despite the cold D C Am G The people you see regularly never grow old. D C Am G The people you hang out with, well, they never grow old. [chorus] C D Bm Em You look the same as you did when we met. So many years ago by now C D G G7 You cannot see the hour hand has moved until you look away. C D Bm Em Do I look the way I did when we met? I know that I have changed a lot. C D G But when you look at me, which me do you see? C D G When you look at me.
