G C7M
Look in the mirror
F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Who do you see?
G C7M
Someone familiar
F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
But surely not me
G C7M
For he can't be me
F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Look how old and cold and tired and lonely he's become
G C7M
Not until you see
F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
There's a price tag hanging off of having all that fun
G C7M F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Uh-oh, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
G C7M F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Oh no, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
G C7M F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Walk on the outside, holding her hand
G C7M F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Someone familiar, her and her man
G C7M
But it just can't be
F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Look at all the steps that brought you where you are today
G C7M
Not until you see
F C7M G C7M F9 C7M
As the heart grows stronger, sometimes love gets pushed away
G C7M F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Uh-oh, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
G C7M F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Oh no, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
G C7M F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Uh-oh, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
G C7M F9 C7M G C7M F9 C7M
Oh no, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
