[Verse 1]
C
I was walking down 57th Street towards Park
G
With the same old song in my same old heart
Am F
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
C
Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes
G
It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
Am F
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to

[Pre-chorus]
Am
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
C/G D/F# F
Tried to lean into every word he sai-aid, then he said

[Chorus]
C F C
When you are younger, you wish you're older
F C G
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around
E7/G# Am C F
Don't let your wonder turn into closure

When you get older, when you get older

[Post-Chorus]
C F Am G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ho

[Verse 2]
C
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
G
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
Am F
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
C
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
G E7/G# Am
Is the waiting all I've ever do -o one?
F
And will I get to,

[Pre-chorus]

get to know myself in the place I am
C/G D/F# F
Get to fall in love with another ma-a-an and understand

[Chorus]
