The Older I Get Acoustic

i’m no expert , i’m actually kind of a newby to playing guitar but the other tabs
for this song are kinda bad so i figured i would try my hand at it .

let me know if i miss something .

i always mute the E string for the G chords except for the last chord in the
chorus . i also don’t have the ending finished but i figure this should give you a good start .

* * * verse1 * * *
C
the walls between
G
you and i
Dm Am G
always pushing us apart nothing left but scars fight after fight

C
the space between
G
our calm and rage
Dm Am G
started growing shorter , disappearing slowly day after day

* * * pre – chorus * * *
for this section use power chords .

D E F
i was sitting there waiting in my room for you
D
you were waiting for me too

and it makes me wonder

* * * chorus * * *
C
the older i get
G
will i get over it
Dm
it’s been way too long for the times we missed
Am G C
i didn’t know then it would hurt like this but i think

C
the older i get
G
maybe i’ll get over it
Dm
it’s been way too long for the times we missed
Am G
i can’t believe it still hurts like this

* * * verse2 * * * ( same chord as verse1 )
C
the time between
G
those cutting words
Dm Am G
built up our defenses never made no sense it just made me hurt
C
do you believe
G
that time heals all wounds
Dm Am G
it started getting better but it’s easy not to fight when i’m not with you

pre – chorus+chorus ( 1x )

* * * bridge * * *
Am
what was i waiting for
C G
i should’ve taken less and given you more

i should’ve weathered the storm
Am
i need to say so bad
C
what were you waiting for
G C
this could have been the best we ever had

chorus ( 1x )

good luck and let me know what i screwed up!
