Sasha Alex Sloan - Older Chords

[verse 1]
B          E       G#m
 I used to shut my door
                   F#
while my mother screamed in the kitchen
B         E        G#m
 I'd turn the music up,
             F#
get high and try not to listen
   B             E
To every little fight,
        G#m              F#
'cause neither one was right

[pre-chorus]
B                        E
 I swore I'd never be like them
    G#m                    F#
But I was just a kid back then

[chorus]
            E                  F#
The older I get the more that I see
                    B                      G#m
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
              E                     F#
And loving is hard, it don't always work
                  B               G#m
You just try your best not to get hurt
             E              F#
I used to be mad but now I know
               B               G#m
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
               E
It just hadn't hit me yet
             B
The older I get

[verse 2]
          E       G#m
I used to wonder why,
               F#
why they could never be happy
B         E        G#m
I used to close my eyes
               F#
and pray for a whole 'nother family
       B               E
Where everything was fine,
  G#m               F#
one that felt like mine

[pre-chorus]
  B                       E
I swore I'd never be like them
    G#m                    F#
But I was just a kid back then

[chorus]
            E                  F#
The older I get the more that I see
                    B                      G#m
My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me
              E                     F#
And loving is hard, it don't always work
                  B               G#m
You just try your best not to get hurt
             E              F#
I used to be mad but now I know
               B               G#m
Sometimes it's better to let someone go
               E
It just hadn't hit me yet
