Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
D A Bm G
[Verse 1]
D
I fell in love at seventeen
A
Had to make a choice, either her or my dreams
Bm G
And I felt her love on the road, but that was a long time ago
D
I fell for the wrong girl, the type to start a fire
A
And leave you there to burn
Bm
And I found a way to stay alive
G
But somethin' in me that day died
[Pre-Chorus]
D
How does anyone make it out better?
A
Someone tell me the words I should say
Bm
How does anyone keep it forever?
G
I barеly made it through yesterday
[Chorus]
D
I wish I could lovе like I used to love
A
I wish I could love like when I was young
Bm
It's gettin' easier to say goodbye
G
The older you get, the less you cry
D
I wish I didn't give all of me away
A
I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say
Bm
It's gettin' harder as the days go by
G D
The older you get, the less you cry
[Verse 2]
D
And I don't know what I gotta change
A
No matter what I do, it always ends the same
Bm
And I'm not givin' up yet
G
But I don't got a whole lot left
[Pre-Chorus]
D
How does anyone make it out better?
A
Someone tell me the words I should say
Bm
How does anyone keep it forever?
G
I barеly made it through yesterday
[Chorus]
D
I wish I could lovе like I used to love
A
I wish I could love like when I was young
Bm
It's gettin' easier to say goodbye
G
The older you get, the less you cry
D
I wish I didn't give all of me away
A
I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say
Bm
It's gettin' harder as the days go by
G
The older you get, the less you cry
[Post-Chorus]
D A
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry
Bm G D
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry
[Chorus]
D
I wish I could lovе like I used to love
A
I wish I could love like when I was young

It's gettin' easier to say goodbye

The older you get, the less you cry
D
I wish I didn't give all of me away
A
I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say
Bm
It's gettin' harder as the days go by
G D
The older you get, the less you cry
[Post-Chorus]

The older I get, the less that I cry, the less that I feel, I'm not gonna cry (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry)
Bm G
The older I get, the less that I cry, the less that I feel, I'm not gonna cry (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry)

I wish I didn't give all of me away
I fell in love at seventeen
Had to make a choice, either her or my dreams
And I felt her love on the road, but that was a long time ago
I fell for the wrong girl, the type to start a fire
And leave you there to burn
And I found a way to stay alive
But something in me that day died
How does anyone make it out better?
Someone tell me the words I should say
How does anyone keep it forever?
I barely made it through yesterday
I wish I could love like I used to love
I wish I could love like when I was young
It's getting easier to say goodbye
The older you get, the less you cry
I wish I didn't give all of me away
I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say
It's getting harder as the days go by
The older you get, the less you cry
And I don't know what I gotta change
No matter what I do, it always ends the same
And I'm not giving up yet
But I don't got a whole lot left
How does anyone make it out better?
Someone tell me the words I should say
How does anyone keep it forever?
I barely made it through yesterday
I wish I could love like I used to love
I wish I could love like when I was young
It's getting easier to say goodbye
The older you get, the less you cry
I wish I didn't give all of me away
I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say
It's getting harder as the days go by
The older you get, the less you cry
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry
I wish I could love like I used to love
I wish I could love like when I was young
It's getting easier to say goodbye
The older you get, the less you cry
I wish I didn't give all of me away
I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say
It's getting harder as the days go by
The older you get, the less you cry
The older I get, the less that I cry, the less that I feel, I'm not gonna cry (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry)
The older I get, the less that I cry, the less that I feel, I'm not gonna cry (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry)
I wish I could love like I used to love
I wish I could love like when I was young
It's getting easier to say goodbye
The older you get, the less you cry
I wish I didn't give all of me away
