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 (B7(#5)) to finish the song. Comments and
suggestions welcome - enjoy.

[Verse]
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 them growing up thinking
F#m B7
Three year olds are good 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
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]
E
I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
A
We're gonna keep on getting older
F#m B7 E
It's gonna keep on feeling strange
[Verse]
E
Don't let your friends turn cold
While you burn to green
A
When they walk off the stage embrace them
F#m B7
And say that's the best shit I've ever seen
E
And don't let your sister
Walk down the aisle
A
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]
E
I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
A
We're gonna keep on getting older
F#m B7 E
It's gonna keep on feeling strange
[Verse]
E
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
B7
To be around
E
And tell her it's okay
A
If she puts herself first
F#m B7
Us kids will be alright if we're not the centre of her universe
[Chorus]
E
I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
A
We're gonna keep on getting older
F#m B7
It's gonna keep on feeling strange and
E
After a late one, I don't know anything
A
Except the more I keep on talking
F#m B7(#5) E
The less breath I got left to sing
