              G
Hey man it's been a while do you remember me
       Bm                       A
When i hit these streets I was seventeen
   G
A little wild and a little green
          Bm                    A
I've been up and down I've been in between
        G
Through all these years and miles of memories
Bm                      A
And I'm still chasing dreams
       G
But I aint Looking over my shoulder

Chorus:
   D
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
      G
'Cos just like me it's broken in
      A            D
It's not old, Just older
Like a faded pair of torn blue jeans
The skin I'm in is alright with me
It's not old, Just older

It's good to see your face
You ain't no worse for wear
Breathing that California air
When we took on the world
We were young and brave
We got secrets that we'll take to the grave
And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder

Chorus:
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old - just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in it's alright with me
It's not old, just older

        C
I'm not old enough to sing the blues
       G/B                   D/A
But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes
         C
You can roll the dice 'til they call your bluff
     Em                                       A
But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose

Well, I look in the mirror
I don't hate what I see
There's a few more lines staring back at me
Now the nights has grown a little colder
Hey man, I gotta run
Now you take care
If you see coach T. Tell him I've cut my hair
I've kept my faith
I still believe I'm just
Ha

Chorus:
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old - just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in it's alright with me
It's not old, just older
