[Verse 1]
            D
The older I get

           G
The more I think

               A
You only get a minute, better live while you're in it

                      D
'Cause it's gone in a blink

                D
And the older I get

             G
The truer it is

                    A
It's the people you love, not the money and stuff

               D
That makes you rich
[Chorus]
            G                   D
And if they found a fountain of youth

                   A                   D
I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth

             G                      D                A
Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet
[Verse 2]
            D
The older I get

                    G
The fewer friends I have

                      A
But you don't need a lot when the ones that you got

                     D
Have always got your back

                D
And the older I get

             G
The better I am

                   A
At knowing when to give

                                 D
And when to just not give a damn
[Chorus]
            G                   D
And if they found a fountain of youth

                   A                   D
I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth

             G                      D                A
Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet

            G
The older I get

And I don't [Bridge]
G            D
mind all the lines

             A                      D
From all the times I've laughed and cried

     G               D                      A
Souvenirs and little signs of the life I've lived
[Verse 3]
            D
The older I get

             G
The longer I pray

             A
I don't know why, I guess that I

            D
Got more to say

                D
And the older I get

                    G
The more thankful I feel

                  A                                D
For the life I've had, and all the life I'm living still
