Verse I
D
Strip the hero of his skin 
and see the freak show within
An attic space in the house of sin
With pompadours and paraffin
    G
She strokes your hair and says with a grin
 D                              A 
"Here's the door but don't come in
                       D
 Come back when you're younger"

Verse II:
D
Someone asked me, "Why is youth
 Wasted on the rude and uncouth
 Blinded on cheap vermouth
 A would be poet in Duluth
 G
 Short on time, long in the tooth
 D                        A
 Fantasies of John Wilkes Booth
                       D
 Come back when you're younger
A                      D
 Come back when you're younger"

Verse III:
D
She dreams of an older man
Who holds delusions he still can
Deny he's an also-ran
Clutching to an empty plan
 G
"Come and sit on my divan
       D                           A
 Don't say a word I'm your biggest fan"
                      D 
Come back when you're younger

Verse IV:
D
Better minds and bigger hearts
Larger scale and cheaper parts
Faded patrons of the arts
High heeled post-operation tarts
G
Bitter ale and blunted darts
D                        A
Sliding quickly down the charts
A                     D       A
Come back when you're younger
A                     D       A
Come back when you're younger
A                     D       A
Come back when you're younger
