Jim Croce's Age is one I've been working on. He wrote it only a year or so before his death in a plane crash.

AGE
by Jim and Ingrid Croce

D Dsus D A7 G A7sus A7 D

I've been [D]up and down and around and 'round and [A]back again,
I've [G]been so many [A]places I can't re-[D]member where or [A]when.
And my [D]only boss was the clock on the wall and my [A]only friend
[G]Never really [A]was a friend at Dall. [D7]

- CHORUS -
I've [Bm]traded love for pennies, [F#m]sold my soul for less,
Lost my i-[G]deals in that [D]long tunnel of [A]time.
I've turned [D]inside out and around about and [A]back and then
[G]Found myself [A]right back where I [G]start-[A]ed a-[D]gain.

Once I had myself a million, now I've only got a dime,
The diff'rence don't seem quite as bad today.
With a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time
For something that I never lost or left behind.

- CHORUS -

And now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top,
I've learned a lot of things along the way.
I'll be careful while I'm climbin' 'cause it hurts a lot to drop,
When you're down nobody gives a damn anyway.

- CHORUS -
