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
