AS I COME OF AGE- Crosby, Stills and Nash

 C            G             F
As I come of age, I keep fallin' down
       Bb                 F
And I feel just like a schoolboy
       C              G
I was in a senseless rage
          F               Bb              F
Running too hard, and I tore you all to pieces

CHORUS:
 Am
Yes but it's all over now
     F
And I'm a little bit older now
       D
The lessons that I'm learning now
           G
Are gonna make it easy (somehow)

 C           G       F
Now again I try, starting over
           Bb          F
Put the pieces back together
 C         G            F
Even as I cry, bitter tears
       Bb              F
I can see it's all a puzzle
   Am               F  D  C
A game, always the same, ooh ...CHORUS

By the time I die, with the passing
If I've sorted out my changes
And if you could take the time
I would tell you that it's still a puzzle
The same, always a game, ooh


(from the CSN box set, recorded by CSN around 1981 but unreleased till 
the set, originally done by Stills on his solo album Stills in 1975.  I 
prefer the 75 version. (the extra word "somehow" comes from that version))
