The Older I Get
Alan Jackson

D                            G
The older I get,  The more I think
               A                                 
You only get a minute, better live while you're in it
                      D
'Cause it's gone in a blink,  And the older I get
             G
The truer it is
                    A
It's the people you love, not the money and stuff
               D
That makes you rich

            G                   D
And if they found a fountain of youth
                   A                   D
I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth
             G                      D                A
Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet

            D                        G
The older I get, The fewer friends I have
                     A
But you don't need a lot when the ones that you got
                     D
Have always got your back
                                   G
And the older I get,  The better I am
                   A
At knowing when to give
                             D
And when to, just not give a damn

            G                   D
And if they found a fountain of youth
                   A                   D
I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth
             G                      D                A
Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet
            D
The older I get

Lead

D           G            D
And I don't mind all the lines
             A                      D
From all the times I've laughed and cried
     G               D                      A
Souvenirs and little signs of the life I've lived

            D                  G
The older I get,  The longer I pray
             A
I don't know why, I guess that I
            D
Got more to say

                D                         G
And the older I get,  The more thankful I feel
                  A                                D     G  A  D
For the life I've had, and all the life I'm living still
