Getting Old chords by Hellogoodbye

tried to put in the count for the strumming pattern; I hope it's right but
I haven't done that in years so please correct me if it's not. Also, the
second half of the verses has a distinct rhythm so listen to the song for
it. Enjoy!

Verse:
A          F#m      D        A
When we were younger time was under careful lock and key.
A       F#m        D      A
Now it's open, tipped and pourin' out all over me.
  F#m    C#m        Bm            F#m     	C#m      Bm
Oh what a shame! that our days, you exclaimed, I thought you had meant they were long.
   F#m     C#m       Bm    F#m    C#m  A
Not 'till the night when I turned 25, I saw that I had it all wrong.

(Between the two verses you can play half the intro or just keep playing an A chord)

Verse:
A       F#m       D      A
I was gettin' tired of lettin' all my hours pass.
A       F#m       D        A
Hopin' someday soon or some way everything would last.
  F#m    C#m      Bm          F#m    C#m     Bm
Oh What a shame! When I look at your frame, I know someday it will be dust.
  F#m      C#m        Bm          F#m       C#m   A
Not that I thought it's that close, 'cause it's not, but I guess it's just creepin' up.

(Between the verse and chorus you can play the full intro or A chords)

Chorus:
A          D  A             E
Oh and it's not that bad, it's all this time we've had.
C#m         D        A          E
Things that could be, became history. We'll never know instead.
A          D  A          E
Oh we're not too far gone. It hasn't been that long.
C#m        D
Oh and our tea cup is getting filled up.
A           E       A(x4)
So we'll never have to dread getting old.
