This is just the same chord progression the whole way through for verses and chorus. The
only variations are that at one point the E is played for a few measures extra leading
into a verse and there is a passing chord (Baug) to finish the song. Comments and

And don't let your Ebrother
Stop thinking you're cool
I know he's got a Agirlfriend now and he's taller

[Verse]

Don't let the kids win

Just let them lose

They're not gonna learn anything

F#m B7

If that's the way you choose to play

Don't let the kids win

Just let them fall

You don't want them growing up thinking

F#m B7

Three year olds are good at playing basketball

Don't let your grandmother die

While you're away

A cheap trip to Thailand's not gonna make up

F#m B7

For never getting to say goodbye

And don't let your brother

Stop thinking you're cool

I know he's got a girlfriend now and he's taller

F#m B7

But that don't mean he's stopped looking up to you

[Chorus]

I've got a feeling

That this won't ever change

We're gonna keep on getting older

F#m B7 E

It's gonna keep on feeling strange

[Verse]

Don't let your friends turn cold

While you burn to green

When they walk off the stage embrace them

F#m B7

And say that's the best shit I've ever seen

And don't let your sister

Walk down the aisle

Without pulling her close saying I love you and it's okay

F#m B7

If I don't see you for a while

[Chorus]

I've got a feeling

That this won't ever change

We're gonna keep on getting older

F#m B7 E

It's gonna keep on feeling strange

[Verse]

Don't let the time go by

Without sitting your mother down

A F#m

And asking what, life was like for her before you came

To be around

And tell her it's okay

If she puts herself first

A F#m B7

Us kids will be alright if we're not the centre of her universe

[Chorus]

I've got a feeling

That this won't ever change

We're gonna keep on getting older

F#m B7

It's gonna keep on feeling strange and

After a late one, I don't know anything

Except the more I keep on talking

F#m Baug E

The less breath I got left to sing
