    C#
I thought that everybody gets older
       Fm7
But I guess that's not the case
            G#
'Cause you said goodbye to your family last night
         D#
You were only twenty-eight
         C#
And the year is gonna get a lot colder
           Fm7
But you'll always be stuck in June
           G#
When the trees turn red, will it hit me then
     D#
That I'm not gonna see you soon?
A#m            G# 
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Chorus:
D#               C#                        Fm7
I never said goodbye, and now it's sinking in
               G#                      D#
That the last time I saw you, we were kids
                    C#              Fm7
I guess the hardest part of getting old
              G#                       D#
Is that some people that you love don't

Yeah, I thought that everybody gets better
But I guess that's not the truth
Took a drive last night, tried to clear my mind
But I turned the whole highway blue
Yeah, I cried when I read
The last text that you sent
'Cause I'll never see those three dots there again

Chorus

And I don't know what to
C#
Say to your little brother
Fm7
Who am I to say, "It's gonna be okay"?
G#
My mom is friends with your mother
D#                                 C#
Catching up is never gonna be the same

No more text on your birthday
Fm7                                 G#
Every time another friend says your name
                         D#
No, I don't know what to say

Chorus:
I never said goodbye, and now it's sinking in
That the last time I saw you, we were kids
I guess the hardest part of getting old
Is that some people that you love don't
I wish I would have tried harder to stay in touch
I thought we had more time, too busy growing up
I guess the hardest part of getting old
Is that some people that you love don't

Some people that you love don't
Some people that you love don't
