When Youre My Age

G C G C

[Verse 1]
            G
When you're my age
                    D
I hope the world is kinder
        Em       D        C
Than it seems to be right now
               G
And I hope the front page
             D
isn't just a reminder
          Em   D                  
Of how we keep letting each other 
C
down

[Pre-Chorus]
           Bm
When I was your age
                              C
Things didn't seem to be this hard
       Bm
Riding bikes out on the street
        C      D    C
Playing tag in the backyard

[Chorus]
          G
You'll outgrow your shoes
          D
You'll outgrow your bed
          Em
You'll outgrow this house
     C
Just don't forget
            G
When you're all grown up
              D
But you don't feel that way
       Em          D       C
You're still gonna be my baby
                    G      C
Even when you're my age

[Verse 2]
            G
When you're my age
                        D
You'll still be full of questions
        Em            D        
That I wish I had the answers to 
        C
right now
          G
And those dark times
                      D
might make you second guess it
      Em                 D        
I bet love will still be making 
           C
the world go round

[Pre-chorus 2]
           Bm
When I was your age
                                C
I didn't worry like I think you do
           Bm
Back then, innocence was something
          C    D  C
You could hold on to

[Chorus]
          G
You'll outgrow your shoes
          D
You'll outgrow your bed
          Em
You'll outgrow this house
     C
Just don't forget
            G
When you're all grown up
              D
But you don't feel that way
       Em          D       C
You're still gonna be my baby
                    G      C
Even when you're my age

[Verse 3]
              G
When you have kids someday
                          D
I hope you teach them the Lord's 
Prayer
        Em        D      C
Before they go to bed at night
        G
Like my Daddy did for me
        D
And his Mother before him
     Em                 D         
Well something about it just keeps
     C
 you right

[Pre-chorus 3]
      Bm                           
And I hope you don't work too much 
   C
overtime
           Bm
So you can be right there beside 
them
          C           D      C
When they close their little eyes

[Chorus 3]
                 G
Cause they'll outgrow their shoes
           D
They'll outgrow their beds
           Em
They'll outgrow that house
        C
And you can't stop it
          G
Life will line your face
          D
Time will turn the page
            Em          D     
But they're still gonna be your 
    C
babies
                 Em          D    
Just like you're still gonna be my
   C
 baby
                     G     C
Even when you're my age
                    G     C
Even when you're my age
