E
  I remember when
[Verse 1]
                   A
We kids used to be two, three shots followed by a couple others

Bm
Wake up, have a beer, never needed to recover

  E
A cold, red Gatorade and I'd feel great

           D                     E
Now it's a bottle of Advil and a whole next day
[Chorus]
   A
My old tricks don't work anymore

           Bm
They don't get it done like they did before

          E
Yeah, the cold, hard truth is gettin' harder to swallow

           D
I guess the younger me is a hard act to follow

   A
My old ways ain't workin' for me

            Bm
Sometimes I still wake up and think I'm 23

       E
All my elders used to tell me this would happen for sure

      D          E              A
Now my old tricks don't work anymore

A
Nah, nah
[Post-Chorus]
E
If you think that sucks, man, listen
[Verse 2]
       A
Stupid jokes would make her laugh

A
Compliments would make her smile

Bm
Kisses on her neck always used to drive her wild

        E
All the things I used to do

E
I can't do anymore

            D                          E
Like sayin' huntin’ with the boys is a business trip
[Chorus]
   A
My old tricks don't work anymore

           Bm
They don't get it done like they did before

          E
Yeah, the cold, hard truth is gettin' harder to swallow

           D
I guess the younger me is a hard act to follow

   A
My old ways ain't workin' for me

            Bm
Sometimes I still wake up and think I'm 23

       E
All my elders used to tell me this would happen for sure

      D          E              A
Now my old tricks don't work anymore
[Post-Chorus]
A
Here we go

                     Bm
Wait, where we goin'?

                E
Aw, my old tricks

                        D
They just don't work anymore
[Chorus]

My old tricks don't work anymore

       E
All my elders used to tell me this would happen for sure

      D          E              A
Now my old tricks don't work anymore

A       E
No, no
[Outro]
Bm
Haha

                 E
We ain’t gettin’ any younger, are we?

     A
