(Verse)
The older I (D)get, the more I (G)think
You only get a (A)minute, better live while you're in it, 'cause it's gone in a (D)blink
And the older I (D)get, the truer it (G)is
It's the people you love, (A) not the money and stuff, that makes you (D)rich
(Chorus)
And if they (G)found a fountain of (D)youth
I wouldn't drink a (A)drop and that's the (D)truth
Funny how it (G)feels I'm just getting (D)to my best years (A)yet
(Verse)
The older I (D)get, the fewer friends I (G)have
But you don't need a (A)lot when the ones that you got have always (D)got your back
And the older I (D) get, the better I (G)am
At knowing when to (A)give nd when to just not give a damn (D)
(Chorus)
And if they (G)found a fountain of (D)youth
I wouldn't drink a (A)drop and that's the (D)truth
Funny how it (G)feels I'm just getting (D)to my best years (A)yet, the older I (G)get

(Bridge)
And I don't mind (G) all the lines (D)
From all the times (A) I've laughed and cried (D)
Souvenirs (G) and little (D)signs of the life I've (A)lived
(Verse)
The older I (D)get, the longer I (G)pray
I don't know why, (A) I guess that I got more to (D)say
And the older I (D) get the more thankful I (G) feel
For the life I've had, (A) and all the life I'm living (D)still - - -
