Verse 1:
   C majorC
I was walking down 57th Street towards Park
     G+G
With the same old song in my same old heart
    A minorAm              FF
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
     C majorC
Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes
       G+G
It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
    A minorAm                FF
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to

Pre-chorus:
    A minorAm
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
     C majorC            D MajorD       FF
Tried to lean into every word he said, then he said

Chorus:
       C majorC      FF      C majorC
When you are younger, you wish you're older
   FF      C majorC          G+G
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around
        A minorAm     G+G  FF
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
       C majorC          G+G
When you get older, when you get older

Post-Chorus:
C majorC  FF  A minorAm G+G
Oh, oh, oh, oh
C majorC  FF  A minorAm G+G
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Verse 2:
    C majorC
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
    G+G
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
    A minorAm              FF
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
   C majorC
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
    G+G            A minorAm
Is the waiting all I've ever done?
      FF
And will I get to,

Pre-chorus:
    A minorAm
get to know myself in the place I am
    G+G             D MajorD      FF
Get to fall in love with another man and understand

Chorus:
       C majorC      FF      C majorC
When you are younger, you wish you're older
   FF      C majorC          G+G
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around
        A minorAm     G+G  FF
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
       C majorC          G+G
When you get older, when you get older

When you get older, when you get older
