This is the chord progression of Older by Ben Platt on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
C
I was walking down 57th Street towards Park
G
With the same old song in my same old heart
Am F
Making plans I\’m gonna do when I get older
C
Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes
G
It\’s like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
Am F
Saying life is gonna find you when it\’s supposed to
[Pre-chorus]
Am
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
C D F
Tried to lean into every word he said, then he said
[Chorus]
C F C
When you are younger, you\’ll wish you\’re older
F C G
Then when you\’re older, you\’ll wish for time to turn around
Am G F
Don\’t let your wonder turn into closure
C G
When you get older, when you get older
[Post-Chorus]
C F Am G
Oh, oh, oh, oh
C F Am G
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
C
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
G
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
Am F
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
C
If I wait \’til my tomorrow comes
G Am
Is the waiting all I\’ve ever done?
F
And will I get to,
[Pre-chorus]
Am
get to know myself in the place I am
G D F
Get to fall in love with another man and understand
[Chorus]
C F C
When you are younger, you\’ll wish you\’re older
F C G
Then when you\’re older, you\’ll wish for time to turn around
Am G F
Don\’t let your wonder turn into closure
C G
When you get older, when you get older
[Post-Chorus]
C F Am G
Oh, oh, oh, oh
C F Am G
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
C F C
When you are younger, you\’ll wish you\’re older
F C G
When you get older, you\’ll wish for time to turn around
Am G F
Don\’t let your wonder turn into closure
C G
When you get older, when you get older
[Outro]

Oh, oh, oh, oh
