[Chorus]
         G                C G
I'm not afraid of getting older
         Em                 G
I'm one less day from dying young
          G                C    G
I see the light go past my shoulder
          Em                G
I'm one less day from dying young
 
[Verse 1]
         G           C                    G
I see my life like a train with a one-way track
             D            C                 G
I've made mistakes, and I couldn't take 'em back
              G                                  C              G
And I've been runnin' 'round in circles 'til I'm dizzy, I can't lie
    D                             C             G
But every night I go to sleep's a day that I survive
 
[Chorus]
         G                C G
I'm not afraid of getting older
         Em                 G
I'm one less day from dying young
          G                C    G
I see the light go past my shoulder
         Em                 G
I'm one less day from dying young
 
[Verse 2]
                 G             C                G
And I've seen my friends fall away before their time
               D                C               G
And I've been afraid that I may follow in their light
     G                                  C                 G
So I drink and love and whisper all the things I know are right
D                                     C           G
Someday, I will leave this world, but maybe not tonight
 
[Chorus]
         G                C G
I'm not afraid of getting older
         Em                 G
I'm one less day from dying young
          G                C    G
I see the light go past my shoulder
         Em                 G
I'm one less day from dying young
         Em                 G
I'm one less day from dying young
 
[Bridge]
G                      C     G
All my life I have been wandering
C             G              D
Burning up my candle like my time just won't end
    G                            C         G/B
And I'll keep burning 'til there's nothing left
Em                          C          G
Praying that tomorrow I can do it all again
    Em                        C          G
And if I get tomorrow, I will do it all again
 
[Chorus]
         G                C G
I'm not afraid of getting older
         Em                 G
I'm one less day from dying young
          G                C    G
I see the light go past my shoulder
         Em                 G
I'm one less day from dying young
 
[Chorus]
         G                C G
I'm not afraid of getting older
         Em                 G
I'm one less day from dying young
          G                C    G
I see the light go past my shoulder
        Em                  G
I'm one less day from dying young (from dying young!)
        Em                  G
I'm one less day from dying young (from dying young!) Hey!
 
[Outro]
G      C  G    Em                              G
                  (I'm one less day from dying young)
G      C  G    Em                              G
                  (I'm one less day from dying young)
Em                            G
 (I'm one less day from dying young)

Fell in love with it ( being honest I heard the acoustic right away ) very first time I heard, so much that is #3 on my I Tunes most played list, the words sting as I just lost a friend to cancer and she was only 53.
