Intro: D G A D verse 1 D The older I get G 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 tha's the truth G D A Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet verse 2 D The older I get G 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 And the older I get G 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 Instrumental Bridge 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 verse 3 D The older I get G The longer I pray D A I don't know why, I guess that I D Got more to say And the older I get G The more thankful I feel A D For the life I've had, and all the life I'm living still
