F# I fell in love at seventeen Had to make a choice, either her or my dreams D#m B And I fell in love on the road, but that was a long time ago F# I fell for the wrong girl, the type to start a fire And leave you there to burn D#m And I found a way to stay alive B But somethin' in me that day died F# How does anyone make it out better? Someone tell me the words I should say D#m How does anyone keep it forever? B I barely made it through yesterday Chorus: F# I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I was young D#m It's gettin' easier to say goodbye B The older you get, the less you cry F# I wish I didn't give all of me away I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say D#m It's gettin' harder as the days go by B F# The older you get, the less you cry And I don't know what I gotta change No matter what I do, it always ends the same And I'm not givin' up yet But I don't got a whole lot left How does anyone make it out better? Someone tell me the words I should say How does anyone keep it forever? I barely made it through yesterday Chorus: I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I was young It's gettin' easier to say goodbye The older you get, the less you cry I wish I didn't give all of me away And I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say It's gettin' harder as the days go by The older you get, the less you cry F# Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry D#m B F# Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry Chorus: I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I was young It's gettin' easier to say goodbye The older you get, the less you cry I wish I didn't give all of me away And I'd take back the things that I wish I didn't say It's gettin' harder as the days go by The older you get, the less you cry The older I get, the less that I cry The less that I feel, I'm not gonna lie (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry) The older I get, the less that I cry The less that I feel, I'm not gonna lie (Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, the less I cry) I wish I could love like I used to love I wish I could hurt like when I was young It's gettin' easier to say goodbye The older you get, the less you cry You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsD#m  F#  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
