Verse
F
I was walking down 57th Street towards Park
C
With the same old song in my same old heart
Dm A#
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
Dm A#
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to
[Pre-chorus]
Dm
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
F/C G/B A#
Tried to lean into every word he sai-aid, then he said
[Chorus]
F A# F
When you are younger, you wish you're older
A# F C
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around
A7/C# Dm F A#
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
F C
When you get older, when you get older
[Post-Chorus]
F A# Dm C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
F A# Dm 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
Dm A#
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
F
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
C A7/C# Dm
Is the waiting all I've ever do -o one?
A#
And will I get to,
[Pre-chorus]
Dm
get to know myself in the place I am
F/C G/B A#
Get to fall in love with another ma-a-an and understand
[Chorus]
F A# F
When you are younger, you wish you're older
A# F C
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around

When you get older, when you get older

When you get older, you wish for time to turn around

When you get older, when you get older
