[Intro]
D Gmaj7 Em7 D
[Verse 1]
D Gmaj7 The old woman in me thinks I look good in these jeans Em7 D She remembers what her body did carrying all those kids Gmaj7 She's narrowed down the truth, she don't even dye her roots Em7 D Gmaj7 Em7 D She's proud of the life she lived, says it made her the woman she is
[Verse 2]
D Gmaj7 The old woman in me, she don't wanna go back in time Em7 D Thinks her fifties might been her prime, says, "Don't give up on that man of mine" Gmaj7 She's good at listening, says, "Kiss him every time a kid walks in" Em7 D Remember what your heart is for, and you won't have to ask for more
[Chorus]
G She's a no-regretter Bm Yeah, a good forgiver A G Yeah, and where she's worn around the edges, go on and let her be Bm She's peace in a house dress, I'm a work in progress A G D Gmaj7 Em7 D I hope someday I get to be the old woman in me
[Verse 3]
D Gmaj7 The old woman in me never made herself an enemy Em7 D Took a while and finally found her faith, says, "Everybody makes mistakes" Gmaj7 She'll smile and look you in the eye, say, "I love you" too many times Em7 D Yeah, but she don't apologize for all that love
[Chorus]
G She's a no-regretter Bm Yeah, a good forgiver A G Yeah, and where she's worn around the edges, go on and let her be Bm She's peace in a house dress, I'm a work in progress A G D G Em7 D I hope someday I get to be the old woman in me, yeah
[Outro]
D G The old woman in me sits on a front porch swing Em7 D G Watching her grandkids play, dreaming 'bout yesterday Em D Yesterday
