G 
He looked in the mirror while he was shaving this  
D7 
morning
 
The lines in his face and the age in his eyes gave a  
G 
warning
 
As he stands face to face with the man that everyone  
C 
sees
 
He whispers it's hell to be  
G 
forty and fading
D7 
Feeling like you're  
G 
23
 
When the young ladies look they still get that gleam in their  
D7 
eye
 
He's got money to burn but there's one thing he don't have to  
G 
buy
 
Last night he learned you're as you let yourself  
C 
be
 
He may look like he's forty and  
G 
fading
D7 
She made him feel  
G 
23
 
They  
C 
say it's hell to be forty and fading
 
From now on it's all down
G 
hill
A7 
But he don't believe it cause life's what's you live it
 
And he's just beginning to  
D7 
live
G 
As long as there's ladies who need a good loving
 
That's where he's gonna  
C 
be
 
He may look like he's forty and  
G 
fading
 
But  
D7 
inside he's still  
G 
23
 
He thinks it's a shame that God wasted years on the  
D7 
young
 
Because your life's half over before you learn how it's  
G 
done
 
Now he's living the life that young man's eyes never  
C 
see
 
He may look like forty and  
G 
fading
 
But  
D7 
inside he's still  
G 
23
C 
He may look like forty and  
G 
fading
 
But  
D7 
inside he's still  
G 
23
