Verse 1:
F*
I was walking down 57th Street towards Park
C*
With the same old song in my same old heart
Dm* Bb*
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
F*
Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes
C*
It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
Dm* Bb*
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to
Dm
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
F C Bb
Tried to lean into every word he said, then he said
Chorus:
F Bb F
When you are younger, you'll wish you're older
Bb F C
Then when you're older, you'll wish for time to turn around
F Bb F
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
Bb F C
When you get older, when you get older
Post-Chorus:
F Dm Bb C
Oh, oh, oh, oh
F Dm Bb C
Oh, oh, oh
Verse 2:
F
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
C
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
Dm Bb
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
F
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
C Dm
Is the waiting all I've ever done?
Bb Dm
And will I get to, get to know myself in the place I am
F C Bb
Get to fall in love with another man and understand
Chorus:
F Bb F
When you are younger, you'll wish you're older

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

When you get older, when you get older

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
