Verse 1:

Haha, you're old
Em
  Every day I wake up, look in the mirror
               C
And say what's up to the man staring back at me
                              B
And ask myself what's happening
Em
 Where's the boy I used to see
                        C
And how'd he sail past 33
                  C                 B
The silver fox is such a sight to see

Verse 2:
Em
Yeah, I miss the good old days when there was no such thing as an Instapage
C
And 923 was all the rage while we were
                                         B
Working at the sugar shack  for minimum wage
Em
Things were different then, we couldn't wait

To grow up but what fools we've been
C                           C                    B
Cause all I want to do is return to the way back when

Chorus:
C            G                 B                C
 We used to tape our songs on cassettes off the radio
           G      B                  C
We used a VCR to record our favorite shows

Hanging out in the schoolyard and the
 G                        B            C
Streetlights shining was a  signal to go home
         B
And now I'm wondering just how did
      Em
I get so old

Verse 3:
C B        Em                                                 C
    Summer nights on the beach getting ripped off three beers each
                                                       B
Just hanging out with friends can't we go back to those  days again
Em                                                            C
  Quarters up  Street  Fighter II 25 cents per web to punish you

Doing nothing was the thing to do
 E           Em
Yeah how'd we  get so far from chalking

IDs just to getting bars
   C
And life was an endless  Mardi

Gras from delusions of grandeur where
              Em
I would be a star
      Em                                    G
I'm in  disbelief they aren't kidding when they tell you that time's
                C                                    B
A thief before you know it age 40 just slaps you in the teeth

Chorus:
C            G                 B                C
