Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][G][Em]
[D]

[Verse 1]
The old [D]woman in me thinks
I look [G]good in these jeans
She remembers what her [Em]body
did carrying [D]all those kids
She's narrowed down the truth,
she don't even dye [G]her roots
She's proud of the [Em]life she lived,
says it made her the [D]wo man she is
[A][G][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
The old woman in me,
she don't wanna [G]go back in time
Thinks her fifties might have [Em]been her prime, says,
"Don't give up on that [D]man of mine"
She's good at listening, says,
"Kiss him every time a [G]kid walks in"
Remember what your [Em]heart is for
and you won't have to [D]ask for more

[Verse 3]
She's [G]a no-regretter
Yeah, a good for[Bm]giver
Yeah, well, she's [A]worn around the edges
Go on and [G]let her be
She's peace in a house dress
I'm a work in [Bm]progress
I hope someday [A]I get to be the old
[G]woman in me
[D][G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[D]
The old woman in me never
made herself an [G]enemy
Took a while and finally [Em]found her faith, says,
"Everybody [D]makes mistakes"
She'll smile and look you in the eye,
say I love you too [G]many times
Yeah, but she don't [Em]apologize
for all [D]that love

[Verse 5]
She's [G]a no-regretter
Yeah, a good for[Bm]giver
Yeah, well, [G]she's [A]worn around the edges
Go on and [G]let her be
She's peace in a house dress
And I'm a work in [Bm]progress
[Em]I hope someday I get[A] to be the o[G]ld woman in me,[D]
[G]yeah
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[D]
The old woman in me sits on
a front [G]porch swing
Watching [Em]her grandkids play,
[G]dreaming 'bout [D]yester[G]day, [D]yes[Em]terday
