[Intro]
                  Cmaj7
I don’t wanna get older
                        Em
Without your head on my shoulder
                    Am
On the day that you leave me
                D7
I’ll forever be bleeding love
                 Gmaj7
As forever comes closer
                         Em
Hope the world will spin slower
                  Cmaj7
I don’t wanna get older
                  Am    D7
I don’t wanna get older

[Verse 1]
Gmaj7
     Stare at the photograph
Em
  Suddenly takes me back
    Am
The promises roll off your breath
        D7
In your cocaine-colored
wedding dress
Gmaj7
     Lost in the day to day
Em
  You kiss away the pain
   Am
Oh every time you twist my lips
   D7
My dear devoted delicate

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                D#
It’s not worth it if I lose
    D                  C#m
 my one-way ticket for two
  Am
Just me
  D
Just you

     Our love is tailor made
Em
  But we let the edges fade
     Am
Your wicked smile it says it all

  No nothing Shakespearean
   Am
It all comes flooding back again

My dear devoted delicate

Without your head on my shoulder
                    Am
On the day that you leave me
                D7
I’ll forever be bleeding love
                 Gmaj7
As forever comes closer
                         Em
Hope the world will spin slower
                  Cmaj7
I don’t wanna get older

I don’t wanna get older

How to play Older: key, chords and progression

Older by 5 Seconds Of Summer feat. Sierra Deaton sits in E minor (one sharp: F♯), and you need 8 chords to play it: Cmaj7, Em, Am, D7, Gmaj7, D#, D and C#m.

Most of the song cycles through Am – D7 – Gmaj7 – Em (iv – VII7 – IIImaj7 – i in E minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: D# and C#m are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
