[Verse 1]

G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7

Look in the mirror, who do you see?

G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7

Someone familiar, but surely not me

G Cmaj7

For he can't be me

F9b5 Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7

Look how old and cold and tired and lonely he's become

G Cmaj7

Not until you see

There's a price tag hanging off of havin' all that fun

[Chorus]

G Cmaj7

Uh-oh,

[Verse 2]

G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7

Walk on the outside, holding her hand

G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7

Someone familiar, her and her man

G Cmaj7

But it just can't be

F9b5 Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7

Look at all the steps that brought you where you are today

G Cmaj7

Not until you see

F9b5 Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7

As a heart grows stronger, sometimes love is pushed away

[Chorus]

Uh-oh,

F9b5 Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 F9b5 Cmaj7

looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
