Older Ukulele by Ben Platt

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

* = one strum
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
   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


Chorus:
       F              Dm
When you are younger, you'll wish you're older
       Bb           C
When you get older, you'll wish for time to turn around
        F        Dm
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
       Bb         C
When you get older, when you get older


Outro:
F* Dm* Bb* C*
Oh, oh, oh, oh
