♫ Intro: F Dm Bb ♫ Verse 1: F I fell in love at seventeen Had to make a choice, either her or my dreams Dm Bb And I felt her love on the road, but that was a long time ago F I fell for the wrong girl, the type to start a fire And leave you there to burn Dm And I found a way to stay alive Bb But somethin' in me that day died
♫ Pre-Chorus: F How does anyone make it out better? Someone tell me the words I should say Dm How does anyone keep it forever? Bb I barely made it through yesterday ♫ Chorus: F I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could love like when I was young Dm It's gettin' easier to say goodbye Bb The older you get, the less you cry F I wish I didn't give all of me away I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say Dm It's gettin' harder as the days go by Bb The older you get, the less you cry ♫ Verse 2: F And I don't know what I gotta change No matter what I do, it always ends the same Dm And I'm not givin' up yet Bb But I don't got a whole lot left ♫ Pre-Chorus: F How does anyone make it out better? Someone tell me the words I should say Dm How does anyone keep it forever? Bb I barely made it through yesterday ♫ Chorus: F I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could love like when I was young Dm It's gettin' easier to say goodbye Bb The older you get, the less you cry F I wish I didn't give all of me away I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say Dm It's gettin' harder as the days go by Bb The older you get, the less you cry ♫ Post-Chorus: F Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry Dm Bb Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry ♫ Chorus: F I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could love like when I was young Dm It's gettin' easier to say goodbye Bb The older you get, the less you cry F I wish I didn't give all of me away I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say Dm It's gettin' harder as the days go by Bb The older you get, the less you cry ♫ Post-Chorus: F The older I get, the less that I cry, the less that I feel I'm not gonna cry (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry) Dm Bb The older I get, the less that I cry, the less that I feel I'm not gonna cry (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry) ♫ Outro: F I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could love like when I was young Dm It's gettin' easier to say goodbye Bb The older you get, the less you cry
