The Older I Get

Alan Jackson

 
[Verse 1]
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 [A] love, 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 2]
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 got your [D] back
And the older I [D] get - The better I [G] am
At knowing when to [A] give, and when to just not give a [D] damn
 
{ CHORUS }
The older I [D] get . . . 
Musical interlude -  - Hum or something
 
And I don't [G] mind all of the [D] lines
From all the [A] times that I've laughed and [D] cried.   Souve-[G]-nirs and little [D] signs of the life well [A] lived
 
[Verse 3]
The older I [D] get - The longer I [G] pray
I don't know [A] why, 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 [A] had, and all the life I'm living [D] still
 
End on [D]
