[Intro]
C C G G Em Em D
 
 
[Verse]
CThe older I get I can't understand it
GCan they really not find a cure for cancer
EmOr Do they already have an answer
DBut they see dollar signs
GIn a child's eyes
 
CThe older I get I can't tell the difference
G'Tween super hero's and super villains
EmGuess one side traded all their capes in
DAnd now the bad guys
GWear a suit and tie
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
CJust make it make sense
DDo the good guys ever win?
 
 
[Chorus]
EmThey say you'll get it when you're older
CBut I just understand it less
GHow's the world so god damn ugly
DThe older that I get
 
EmIt's like it just keeps gettin' colder
CAnd it's fuckin' with my head
GI woulda stayed young if I'd known
DThis was the older
CC G Em Em DThe older that I'd get
 
 
[Verse]
CThe older I get I hear "it's just business"
GWhen these crooked politicans
EmLine the pockets of all their rich friends
DKnowin' you and I
 
Gotta pay the price
 
CThe older I get I wish that Christians
GTried to be a little more like Jesus
EmBut I guess all those poor and sick kids
DJust can't buy that house of white
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
CJust make it make sense
DDo the good guys ever win?
 
 
[Chorus]
Em7They say you'll get it when you're older
CBut I just understand it less
GHow's the world so god damn ugly
DThe older that I get
 
EmIt's like it just keeps gettin' colder
CAnd it's fuckin' with my head
GI woulda stayed young if I'd known
DThis was the older
EmThe older that I'd get
 
 
[Break]
EmRaise your right hand, plead the 5th
CTryna cover up names on a list
GLie and say that it doesn't exist
DWhat the fuck kinda place in?
 
EmWork 2 jobs try to make rent
CHeaven help ya if you've got brown skin
GWatch 'em starve on Gaza Strip
D DHow the fuck is this the older I get?
 
 
[Chorus]
EmThey say you'll get it when you're older
CBut I just understand it less
GHow's the world so god damn ugly
DThe older that I get
 
EmIt's like it just keeps gettin' colder
CAnd it's fuckin' with my head
GI woulda stayed young if I'd known
DThis was the older
 
The older that I'd get
