[Verse]
This little Dcity saw us young
while playing Afootball in the park
and getting Efines for parking motorbikes on F#mgrass fields
when afterDnoons were truly droll
while drinking Abeer and smoking pot
in the old Erope-yard with grim dogs barking F#maway
we used to Dput together shitty bands
to Aplay some shitty songs
singing aEbout dirty jokes and violent F#mmoshpits
and if you'd Dtell me "one day we will play
our Asongs so far from home"
guess Ewhat? I wouldn't laugh at you F#magain
I wouldn't laugh at you aDgainA  E  F#m  
[Verse]
This little Dcity saw us lonely and burning
Alosers with nice thoughts and pretty Efaces
perfect friends but awful F#mlovers
D"Something to write home about"
and other Arecords that we used to love
Were Eour only bedroom compaF#mny
and "summer Dwind was always our song"
was Aalways our song as we Ethought
we should F#mget a girl or something
and if Dyou'd tell me "one day we will aim
and Afind the perfect one"
guess Ewhat? I wouldn't laugh at you aF#mgain
I wouldn't laugh at you aDgainA  E  F#m

You Dgot me Aolder  E[x2]F#m  
[Instrumental] x2
D    A    E    F#m
[Verse]
So years go Dby and people change
but some of Athem they stay the same
and we're the Esame boys who take roots in smoking F#mareas
so you can Dfind us anytime
with the same Adrink in the same bar
at the same Ehour, with the same people at the F#mtable
we've been Ddrunk and we've been happy
we've been Adrunk and we've been sad
we've been Edrunk and we've been miserable on F#msundays
and if you'd Dtell me "one day we will slog
to Adrink the weekend off"
guess Ewhat? i wouldn't laugh at you F#magain
And now we're Dolder but not bolder
we look Aback but not in anger
we still Elive the same things and the same F#mfeelings
some of Dus will marry soon and some of Aus will never will
some of Eus will get divorced pretty F#mearly
some of Dus have pushed their lives abroad
but Awe still keep in touch
some of Eus will never leave these doleful F#mplaces
and if you'd Dtell me "one day we'll grow up
just Alike everyone else"
guess Ewhat? i wouldn't laugh at you F#magain
[Chorus]
D    A    E    F#m
You Dgot me AolderE  F#m

[Intro] x2

D A E F#m

[Verse]

This little city saw us young

while playing football in the park

E F#m

and getting fines for parking motorbikes on grass fields

when afternoons were truly droll

while drinking beer and smoking pot

E F#m

in the old rope-yard with grim dogs barking away

we used to put together shitty bands

to play some shitty songs

E F#m

singing about dirty jokes and violent moshpits

and if you'd tell me "one day we will play

our songs so far from home"

E F#m

guess what? I wouldn't laugh at you again

D A E F#m

I wouldn't laugh at you again

[Verse]

This little city saw us lonely and burning

A E

losers with nice thoughts and pretty faces

F#m

perfect friends but awful lovers

"Something to write home about"

and other records that we used to love

E F#m

Were our only bedroom company

and "summer wind was always our song"

A E

was always our song as we thought

F#m

we should get a girl or something

and if you'd tell me "one day we will aim

and find the perfect one"

E F#m

guess what? I wouldn't laugh at you again

D A E F#m

I wouldn't laugh at you again

[Chorus]

D A E F#m

You got me older [x2]

[Instrumental] x2

D A E F#m

[Verse]

So years go by and people change

but some of them they stay the same

E F#m

and we're the same boys who take roots in smoking areas

so you can find us anytime

with the same drink in the same bar

E F#m

at the same hour, with the same people at the table

we've been drunk and we've been happy

we've been drunk and we've been sad

E F#m

we've been drunk and we've been miserable on sundays

and if you'd tell me "one day we will slog

to drink the weekend off"

E F#m

guess what? i wouldn't laugh at you again

And now we're older but not bolder

we look back but not in anger

E F#m

we still live the same things and the same feelings

D A

some of us will marry soon and some of us will never will

E F#m

some of us will get divorced pretty early

some of us have pushed their lives abroad

but we still keep in touch

E F#m

some of us will never leave these doleful places

and if you'd tell me "one day we'll grow up

just like everyone else"

E F#m

guess what? i wouldn't laugh at you again

[Chorus]

D A E F#m

You got me older

D A E F#m

you got me older

D A E F#m

You got us older

D A E F#m

you got us older
