Verse 1:
      Gb
I was walking down 57th Street towards Park
         Db
With the same old song in my same old heart
       Ebm                           B
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
         Gb
Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes
             Db
It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
       Ebm                              B
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to

Pre-Chorus:
        Ebm
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
         Gb                      Ab            B
Tried to lean into every word he said, then he said

Chorus:
             Gb           B           Gb
When you are younger, you wish you're older
     B           Gb                  Db
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around
      Bb7      Ebm         Gb   B
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
             Gb                  Db
When you get older, when you get older

Post-Chorus:
Gb  B   Ebm Db
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Gb  B   Ebm Db
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Verse 2:
       Gb
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
       Db
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
       Ebm                          B
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
     Gb
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
       Db                       Ebm
Is the waiting all I've ever done?
           B
And will I get to,

Pre-Chorus:
       Ebm
get to know myself in the place I am
       Gb                        Ab           B
Get to fall in love with another man and understand
