Older (video)

G

1. I was walking down 57th Street towards Park,

D

with the same old song in my same old heart,

Em C

making plans what I'm gonna do when I get older.

G

I passed a gray-haired man, he found my eyes,

D

it was like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind,

Em C

saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to.

Em

I felt my feet stop short and I turned my head.

D - A C

tried to lean into every word he sai.....d, and then he said :

G C G

When you are younger, you'll wish you're older,

C G D

then when you're older, you'll wish for time to turn around.

B7 Em C

Don't let your wonder turn into closure,

G D

when you get older, when you get older.

G - C - Em - D

+ Oh, oh-oh ... (2x)

G

2. Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime ?

D

Have I bit my tongue one too many times ?

Em C

Have I said it all the way I really meant to ?

G

If I wait till my tomorrow comes,

D

is the waiting all I've ever done ?

Em C

And will I get to ?

Em

Will I ride the flood, open up the dam ?

D - A C

Will I be the man I really a......m, and understand that....

G C G

When you are younger, you'll wish you're older,

C G D

then when you're older, you'll wish for time to turn around.

B7 Em C

Don't let your wonder turn into closure,

G D

when you get older, when you get older.

G - C - Em - D

+ Oh, oh-oh ... (2x)

+ CHORUS

G - C - Em - D

+ Oh, oh-oh ... + C
