G                           C 
 I bought a black suit today, the kind I hoped I'd never wear 
Em                          D                                          G 
To church on a Monday afternoon, with all your friends and family there 
                              C                                Em 
And then I looked through my phone for the last words that we said 
                             D               D#° 
They were "I love you", and there's a little peace in that 
   Em 
I guess 
 

 
                    Cmaj7 
But we were gonna be old men 
         G 
Sit out front and smoke cigars 
         D/F#                      Em 
Swapping stories and watching cars 

               Cmaj7 
We'll always be old friends 
             G 
But I guess you'll stay young forever now 
    D/F# 
And I'll go on with life somehow 

     Em      G/B     C 
The best way that I can 
                 Em       C 
We were gonna be old men 
 

 
G                        C 
 I always thought someday when our memories start to go 
Em                        D                                G 
We'd look back on all of this as just a quick bump in the road 
                            C                                  Em 
Thought we'd play some bad golf and go out to dinner with our wives 
                           D                  B/D#                  Em 
Laugh too loud at our own jokes, sit back and watch them roll their eyes 
 

 
                  C                G 
We were gonna be old men catching bluegill on the bank 
         D/F#                    Em 
Talking 'bout the chance of rain 
                     Cmaj7 
Yeah, we'll always be old friends 
             G 
But I guess you'll stay young forever now 
    D/F# 
And I'll go on with life somehow 

     Em       Bm     C 
The best way that I can 

                 Em 
We were gonna be old men 
             Cmaj7                 Am 
Mm, but this missing you's getting old, man 
                          Cmaj7 
I wish I wasn't angry, but I am 

Bm                         Am 
   I don't think I'll ever understand 
 

 
                Cmaj7 
We were gonna be old men 
         G 
Sit out front and smoke cigars 
          D/F# 
Play old songs on our guitars 

Em D/F# G                   Cmaj7 
       Yeah, we'll always be old friends 
             G 
But I guess you'll stay young forever now 
    D/F# 
And I'll go on with life somehow 
     Em       Bm       C 
The best way that I I can
