The Older I Get Skillet
My first tab I posted I couldn't edit because Ultimate-Guitar didn't give
me credit. My first try was ver2. Here is my edit, it's a vast
improvement and sounds nearly perfect. I think there might be another
chord change in the chorus between the Dm and F but I didn't take the time
to figure it out.
NOTE: Fmaj/C is an F major chord that mutes the low and high E strings
while Fmaj does the same but plays the B string open like this
Also, this tab is for the acoustic version they did on there Comatose Comes
Alive album. They play in a different key when they play it acoustic live.
[Fmaj/C] [Fmaj]
|----x--------x-----| |----1--------0-----| |----2--------2-----| |----3--------3-----| |----3--------3-----| |----x--------x-----|
I don't know that this is proper notation but just so you know what I
mean in this tab.
***Verse1***
[Am] [C]The walls between
[Fmaj/C] [Fmaj]You and I
[Am] [C]Always pushing us apart nothing [Fmaj/C]left but scars [Fmaj]fight after fight
[Am] [C]The space between
[Fmaj/C] [Fmaj]Our calm and rage
[Am] [C]started growing shorter , [Fmaj/C]disappearing [Fmaj]slowly day after day
***Pre-Chorus***
For this section use power chords.
[D] [E] [F]

[D]I was sitting there waiting [E]in my room for [F]you
You were waiting for me [D]too
And it makes me wonder
***Chorus***
[C]The older I get
[G]Will I get over it
It's [Dm]been way too long for the times we missed
[F]I didn't know then it [G]would hurt like this but I think
[C]The older I get
[G]Will I get over it
It's [Dm]been way too long for the times we missed
[F]I didn't know then it [G]would hurt like this but I think
***Verse2***(same chord as Verse1)
[Am] [C]The time between
[Fmaj/C] [Fmaj]Those cutting words
[Am] [C]Built up our defenses never [Fmaj/C]made no sense it [Fmaj]just made me hurt
[Am] [C]Do you believe
[Fmaj/C] [Fmaj]That time heals all wounds
[Am] [C]It started getting better but it's [Fmaj/C]easy not to fight [Fmaj]when I'm not with you
Pre-Chorus+Chorus(1x)
***Bridge***
[Am]What was I waiting for
[C]I should've taken less and given [G]you more
I should've weathered the storm
I need to say so [Am]bad
What were you waiting fo[C]r
This could have been the [G]best we ever [C]had
