recorded by George Jones [3/4 time} written by Bob Parrish and Curtis Gordon
C                G7          C
As I look in the mirror this morning

                  G7       C
On some dirty old restroom wall

         F
It took awhile to realize

            C          Am
It's really me there inside

           C           G7        C    G7
Cause I've aged twenty years in five

    C           G7          C
I recall when I looked much younger

                 G7   C
And it wasn't so long ago

    F
But one night of sleeping

   C              Am
To four nights of wine

           C          G7        C    G7
And you'll age twenty years in five

     C           F        C
I've aged twenty years in five

              F            C
I've seen the dark side of life

       F
From a mansion on a hill

            C              Am
To straight whiskey from a still

           C          G7       C
And you'll age twenty years in five

D7         G7       D7        G7
Before the bottle I played my music

                   D7         G7
On the road with a five piece band

             C
And with the pressures of the game

           G7          Em
I drank up fortune and fame

      G7          D7       G7
And I aged twenty years in five

D7          G7          D7            G7
Ah but I'll change this way I've been living

                D7        G7
Or I'll be gone before my time

           C
I'll climb back to the top

            G7              Em
And with my friends I won't stop

       G7           D7       G7
Till I erase twenty years in five

Em       G7           D7       C
Yes I'll erase twenty years in five
