It gets easier
A7
as we get older

it gets easier

And it gets easier
A7
as we get older
A7
to say "go away"
D
but not today
[Chorus]
G
I don't have to do
D
one damn thing
A7
that I don't want to do
A7
except for missing you
D
and that won't go away

D
It gets easier
A7
to say "some other time"
A7
it gets easier
D
to tell the world to wait
D
And it gets easier
A7
to watch the world fly by
A7
and tell it "I'll catch up
D
but not today"
[Chorus]
G
I don't have to do
D
one damn thing
A7
that I don't want to do
A7
except for missing you

and that won't go away
A7
except for missing you
D
and that won't go away
