The Older I Get chords by Alan Jackson

D,G,A,D

Verse 1:
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

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

Chorus:
             G                    D
And if they found a fountain of youth
                       A                 D
I wouldn't drink a drop and tha's the truth
       G                              D                 A
Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet


Verse 2:
              D
The older I get
                      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

And the older I get
             G
The better I am
                     A
At knowing when to give
                             D
And when to just not give a damn


Chorus:
             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


Instrumental:


Bridge:
             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


Verse 3:
             D
The older I get
              G
The longer I pray
                  D       A
I don't know why, I guess that I
            D
Got more to say

And the older I get
                  G
The more thankful I feel
                      A                              D
