Older

[Verse 1]
G          C       Em                   D
 I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen
G             C     Em               D
 I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   G                 C       Em                   D
To every little fight 'cause neither one was right
  G                  C
I swore I'd never be like them
    Em                    D
But I was just a kid back then
 
 
[Chorus]
            C                    D
The older I get, the more that I see
                  G                         Em
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
              C                     D
And loving is hard, it don't always work
                  G               Em
You just try your best not to get hurt
             C              D
I used to be mad, but now I know
               G                     Em
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
               C
It just hadn't hit me yet
            G
The older I get
 
 
[Verse 2]
          C      Em                  D
I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy
G          C        Em                  D
 I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      G                   C Em                     D
Where everything was fine,  one that felt like mine
  G                       C
I swore I'd never be like them
    Em                    D
But I was just a kid back then
 
 
[Chorus]
            C                    D
The older I get, the more that I see
                  G                         Em
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
              C                     D
And loving is hard, it don't always work
                  G               Em
You just try your best not to get hurt
             C              D
I used to be mad, but now I know
               G                     Em
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
               C
It just hadn't hit me yet
            G  C
The older I get
