Older Chords

[Verse 1]
C          F       Am                     G
I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen
C         F        Am               G
I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen
C                 F            Am              G
To every little fight, 'cause neither one was right
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                        F
I swore I'd never be like them
    Am                    G
But I was just a kid back then
 
 
[Chorus]
            F                  G
The older I get the more that I see
                    C                      Am
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
              F                     G
And loving is hard, it don't always work
                  C               Am
You just try your best not to get hurt
             F              G
I used to be mad but now I know
               C               Am
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
               F
It just hadn't hit me yet
             C
The older I get
 
 
[Verse 2]
          F       Am                 G
I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy
C         F        Am                  G
I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family
       C               F     Am               G
Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                        F
I swore I'd never be like them
    Am                    G
But I was just a kid back then
 
 
[Chorus]
            F                  G
The older I get the more that I see
                    C                      Am
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
              F                     G
And loving is hard, it don't always work
                  C               Am
You just try your best not to get hurt
             F              G
I used to be mad but now I know
               C               Am
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
               F
It just hadn't hit me yet
             C
The older I get
 
 
[Chorus]
            F                  G

                    C                      Am
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
              F                     G
And loving is hard, it don't always work
                  C               Am
You just try your best not to get hurt
             F              G
I used to be mad but now I know
               C               Am
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
               F
It just hadn't hit me yet
             C
The older I get
