              G
Hey, man, it's been a while 
 
Do you remember me? 
Bm                                 A
When I hit the streets I was 17 
G
A little wild, a little green 
Bm                                  A
I've been up and down and in between 
G     
After all these years of miles and memories
Bm                        A                     
I'm still chasing dreams
G
But I ain't looking over my shoulder 
 
Chorus: 
D
I like the bed I'm sleeping in 
G
It's just like me, it's broken in
A                      D
It's not old -- just older 
D
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans 
G
This skin I'm in it's alright with me 
A                     D
It's not old -- just older 
 
It's good to see your face 
You ain't no worse for wear 
Breathing that California air 
When we took on the world 
When we were young and brave 
We got secrets that we'll take to the grave 
And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder 
 
Chorus: 
I like the bed I'm sleeping in 
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old -- just older 
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans 
This skin I'm in it's alright with me 
It's not old -- just older 
 
G
I'm not old enough to sing the blues 
Bm                                      A
But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes
G
You can roll the dice 'til they call your bluff 
Bm                                   A
But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose
 
Solo 
 
D
Well, I look in the mirror 
 
I don't hate what I see 
G
There's a few more lines staring back at me 
A                                          D
The nights have grown a little colder 
D
Hey man, I gotta run
 
Now you take care 
G
If you see coach T. Tell him I cut my hair
A
I've kept my Faith
 
I still believe I'm just
 
Chorus: 
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old -- just older 
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans 
This skin I'm in it's alright with me 
It' s not old -- just older
