Verse
F#
I was walking down 57th Street towards Park
C#
With the same old song in my same old heart
D#m B
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
F#
Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes
C#
It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
D#m B
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to
[Pre-chorus]
D#m
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
F#/C# G#/C B
Tried to lean into every word he sai-aid, then he said
[Chorus]
F# B F#
When you are younger, you wish you're older
B F# C#
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around
A#7/D D#m F# B
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
F# C#
When you get older, when you get older
[Post-Chorus]
F# B D#m C#
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
F# B D#m C#
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ho
[Verse 2]
F#
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
C#
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
D#m B
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
F#
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
C# A#7/D D#m
Is the waiting all I've ever do -o one?
B
And will I get to,
[Pre-chorus]
D#m
get to know myself in the place I am
F#/C# G#/C B
Get to fall in love with another ma-a-an and understand
[Chorus]
F# B F#
When you are younger, you wish you're older
B F# C#
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around
A#7/D D#m F# B
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
F# C#
When you get older, when you get older
[Post-Chorus]
F# B D#m C#
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
F# B D#m C#
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ho
[Chorus]
F# B
When you are younger, you wish you're older
D#m C#
When you get older, you wish for time to turn around
F#/A# B
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
D#m C#
When you get older, when you get older
[Outro]

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
