[Intro]
D
The older I get
G
The more I think
A
You only get a minute, better live while you're in it
D
'Cause it's gone in a blink
D
And the older I get
G
The truer it is
A
It's the people you love, not the money and stuff
D
That makes you rich
[Refrão]
D G D
And if they found a fountain of youth
A D
I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth
G D A
Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet
D
The older I get
[Próxima Parte]
G
The fewer friends I have
A
But you don't need a lot when the ones that you got
D
Have always got your back
D
And the older I get
G
The better I am
A
At knowing when to give And when
D
To just not give a damn
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
G D
And I don't mind all the lines
A D
From all the times I've laughed and cried
G D A
Souvenirs and little signs of the life I've lived
D
The older I get
G
The longer I pray
A
I don't know why, I guess that I
D
Got more to say
D
And the older I get
G
The more thankful I feel
A D
For the life I've had, and all the life I'm living still
