E
Don't let the kids win
Just let them lose
A
They're not gonna learn anything
F#m B7
If that's the way you choose to play
E
Don't let the kids win
Just let them fall
A
You don't want 'em growing up
F#m
Thinking Two-year-olds are good
B7
At playing basketball
E
Don't let your grandmother die
While you're away
A
A cheap trip to Thailand's not
Gonna make up
F#m B7
For never getting to say goodbye
E
And don't let your brother
Stop thinking you're cool
A
Yeah, I know, he's got a
F#m
Girlfriend now and he's taller
But that don't mean he's stopped
B7
Looking up to you
E
And I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
F#m
We're gonna keep on getting older
B7
It's gonna keep on feeling strange
E
Don't let your friends turn cold
While you burn to green
A
When they walk off the stage
Embrace them
F#m
And say, "That's the best shit
B7
I've ever seen"
E
And don't let your sister
Walk down the aisle
A
Without pulling her close
Saying, "I love you"
F#m
And, "It's okay if I don't
B7
See you for a while"
E
And I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
F#m
We're gonna keep on getting older
B7
It's gonna keep on feeling strange
E
And don't let the time go by
Without sitting your mother down
A
And asking what life was like for her
F#m B7
Before you came to be around
E
And tell her it's okay
If she puts herself first
A
Us kids, we'll be alright
F#m B7
If we're not the centre of her universe
E
And I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
F#m
We're gonna keep on getting older
B7
It's gonna keep on feeling strange
E
And after a late one
I don't know anything
F#m
Except the more I keep on talking
B7
The less breath I got left to sing
