[Verse 1]
G                 C
  Can't reach the moon now
G                C
  Can't turn the tide
G                  Am
  The world looked different
     C                D7
When God was on your side
 
G                C
  Who builds the future?
G            C
  Do they care why?
G               Am
  I know you're tired of tryin'
C              D7                 C
Listen clearly, you don't have to try
 
 
[Chorus 1]
     D7        G                  C
Capricorn, the year that you were born
Am          D7           G               C
   Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours
Am             D7               G              C
   Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone
Am                 D7                            G
   Sifting through centuries for moments of your own
 
G  C  D7  Em
Am C  D7  G
 
G  C  D7  Em
Am C  D7  G
 
 
[Verse 2]
G           C
  Alone and wounded
G          C
  But in my prime
G              Am
  I called the hospital
     C               D7
They didn't have the time
 
G             C
  I'd seen it comin'
G            C
  It's no surprise
G               Am
  I know you're tired of tryin'
C              D7                 C
Listen clearly, you don't have to try
 
 
[Chorus 2]
     D7        G                  C
Capricorn, the year that you were born
Am          D7           G               C
   Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours
Am             D7               G              C
   Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone
Am                 D7                            G
   Sifting through centuries for moments of your own
 
G  C  D7  Em
Am C  D7  G
 
G  C  D7  Em
Am C  D7  G
 
 
[Verse 3]
G           C
  A hundred dollars
G             C
  On someone's dime
G              Am
  I looked for answers there
     C               D7
They weren't mine to find
 
G               C
  Good days are comin'
G             C
  Not just to die
G               Am
  I know you're tired of tryin'
C           D7                 C
Listen baby, you don't have to try
 
 
[Chorus 3]
     D7        G                  C
Capricorn, the year that you were born
Am          D7           G               C
   Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours
Am             D7               G              C
   Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone
Am                 D7                            G
   Sifting through centuries for moments of your own
 
 
[Outro]
C      D7        G                  C
  Capricorn, the year that you were born
Am          D7           G               C
   Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours
Am             D7               G              C
   Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone
Am                 D7                            G
   Sifting through centuries for moments of your own
