CAPO: 1st FRET
 
[Intro]
 
One, Two, Three
                 Am     C   F       Dm
Woh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh oh ooh ooh ooooh
G                Am     C   F       Dm  G
Woh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh oh ooh ooh ooooh
 
 
[Verse]
 Am                              C
Lately I've been staring at the sky
 F                        Dm                G
Looking everywhere for a glimpse of silver line
     Am                          C
But shorter days are all I ever find
           F                          Dm                  G
Something doesn't feel fair about the way they're passing by
 
          Am
Oh what a lie
                               C
When they said everything gon' be all be all right
          F                         Dm    N.C.
But what good is everything if everyone's not by your side
 
 
[Chorus]
           Am                       C
I feel my youth slip away like the water on the pavement
             F                           Dm  G
And there's nothing I can do to slow it down
        Am                          C
Mom and Dad are getting gray and I hate that I can't change it
   F                                Dm  G
I wish that they could always be around
 
                Am
But that's just how life goes
             C
We hit some highs and lows
             F                        Dm
But darlin' all I know is I've had enough
 
             G
Dear growing up
               Am           C
You're getting ol-ol-ol-ol-old
 F       Dm
Ooh ooh oooh
G                Am     C   F       Dm  G
Woh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh oh ooh ooh ooooh
 
 
[Verse]
Am               C
Never knew that 24 would feel this way
       F                              Dm
I was learning how to walk just yesterday
            C         Am
Now I just wanna run away
                         C
And now problems are the only way I learn
 
   F                             Dm
I seem to find them every way I turn
          C              Am
Time's a blessing and a curse
               C
What could be worse (what could be worse)
    F                                  Dm
We try so hard to keep the things you love
          G
It never works
 
 
[Chorus]
           Am                       C
I feel my youth slip away like the water on the pavement
             F                           Dm              G
And there's nothing I can do to slow it down (and I get down)
        Am                          C
Mom and Dad are getting gray and I hate that I can't change it
   F                                Dm  G
I wish that they could always be around
 
                Am
But that's just how life goes
             C
We hit some highs and lows
             F                        Dm
But darlin' all I know is I've had enough
 
             G
Dear growing up
               Am           C
You're getting ol-ol-ol-ol-old
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
              C
I'm trembling in my boots
 F                         Dm
Shaking my fist up at the blue
           G             Am
What can I do? What can I do?
         C
What can I do?
 
 
[Outro]
         F                       Dm
Darling all I know is I've had enough
             G
Dear growing up
               Am
You're getting old
