[Verse 1]

         D
It gets easier

          A7
as we get older

        A7
it gets easier

               D
to say "not today"

             D
And it gets easier

          A7
as we get older

      A7
to say "go away"

           D
but not today

[Chorus]

        G
I don't have to do

D
one damn thing

             A7
that I don't want to do

       A7
except for missing you

                 D
and that won't go away

[Solo] | D | A7 | A7 | D | | D | A7 | A7 | D [Verse 2]

        D
It gets easier

          A7
to say "some other time"

        A7
it gets easier

                      D
to tell the world to wait

             D
And it gets easier

             A7
to watch the world fly by

         A7
and tell it "I'll catch up

           D
but not today"

[Chorus]

G
I don't have to do

D
one damn thing

             A7
that I don't want to do

           A7
except for missing you

                   D
and that won't go away

           A7
except for missing you

                 D
and that won't go away

[Outro]
