the older you get, the less you cry

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

Bm
It's gettin' harder as the days go by
    G                               D
The older you get, the less you cry
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
    D                                                                     A
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)

It's gettin' easier to say goodbye
