[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
