 \r\n[Verse 1]\r\nThe older I [D] get - The more I [G] think\r\nYou only get a [A] minute, better live while you're in it,  'Cause it's gone in a [D] blink\r\nAnd the older I [D] get - The truer it [G] is\r\nIt's the people you [A] love, not the money and stuff that makes you [D] rich\r\n \r\n{ CHORUS }<\/span> - 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<\/span>\r\n \r\n[Verse 2]\r\nThe 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\r\nAnd the older I [D] get - The better I [G] am\r\nAt knowing when to [A] give, and when to just not give a [D] damn\r\n \r\n{ CHORUS }<\/span>\r\nThe older I [D] get . . . \r\nMusical interlude -  - Hum or something\r\n \r\nAnd I don't [G] mind all of the [D] lines\r\nFrom all the [A] times that I've laughed and [D] cried.   Souve-[G]-nirs and little [D] signs of the life well [A] lived\r\n \r\n[Verse 3]\r\nThe older I [D] get - The longer I [G] pray\r\nI 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\r\n \r\nEnd on [D]<\/span><\/pre>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
