My Age - Lori McKenna [Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]
            G
When you're my age

                    D
I hope the world is kinder

        Em       D        C
Than it seems to be right now

               G
And I hope the front page 

             D
isn't just a reminder

          Em   D                  C
Of how we keep letting each other down
[Pre-Chorus]
           Bm
When I was your age

                              C
Things didn't seem to be this hard

       Bm
Riding bikes out on the street

        C      D    C
Playing tag in the backyard
[Chorus]
          G
You'll outgrow your shoes

          D
You'll outgrow your bed

          Em
You'll outgrow this house

     C
Just don't forget

            G
When you're all grown up

              D
But you don't feel that way

       Em          D       C
You're still gonna be my baby

                    G      C
Even when you're my age
[Break] G C [Verse 2]
            G
When you're my age

                        D
You'll still be full of questions

        Em            D                C
That I wish I had the answers to right now

          G
And those dark times 

                      D
might make you second guess it

      Em                 D                   C
I bet love will still be making the world go round
[Pre-chorus 2]
           Bm
When I was your age

                                C
I didn't worry like I think you do

           Bm
Back then, innocence was something

          C    D  C
You could hold on to
[Chorus]
          G
You'll outgrow your shoes

          D
You'll outgrow your bed

          Em
You'll outgrow this house

     C
Just don't forget

            G
When you're all grown up

              D
But you don't feel that way

       Em          D       C
You're still gonna be my baby

                    G      C
Even when you're my age
[Break] G C [Verse 3]
              G
When you have kids someday

                          D
I hope you teach them the Lord's Prayer

        Em        D      C
Before they go to bed at night

        G
Like my Daddy did for me

        D
And his Mother before him

     Em                 D              C
Well something about it just keeps you right
[Pre-chorus 3]
      Bm                              C
And I hope you don't work too much overtime

           Bm
So you can be right there beside them

          C           D      C
When they close their little eyes
[Chorus 3]
                 G
Cause they'll outgrow their shoes

           D
They'll outgrow their beds

           Em
They'll outgrow that house

        C
And you can't stop it

          G
Life will line your face

          D
Time will turn the page

            Em          D         C
But they're still gonna be your babies

                 Em          D       C
Just like you're still gonna be my baby

                     G     C
Even when you're my age

                    G     C
Even when you're my age
[Outro] G C G C
