[Intro]
D Gmaj7 Em7 D
[Verse 1]
D Gmaj7
The old woman in me thinks I look good in these jeans
Em7 D
She remembers what her body did carrying all those kids
Gmaj7
She's narrowed down the truth, she don't even dye her roots
Em7 D Gmaj7 Em7 D
She's proud of the life she lived, says it made her the woman she is
[Verse 2]
D Gmaj7
The old woman in me, she don't wanna go back in time
Em7 D
Thinks her fifties might been her prime, says, "Don't give up on that man of mine"
Gmaj7
She's good at listening, says, "Kiss him every time a kid walks in"
Em7 D
Remember what your heart is for, and you won't have to ask for more
[Chorus]
G
She's a no-regretter
Bm
Yeah, a good forgiver
A G
Yeah, and where she's worn around the edges, go on and let her be
Bm
She's peace in a house dress, I'm a work in progress
A G D Gmaj7 Em7 D
I hope someday I get to be the old woman in me
[Verse 3]
D Gmaj7
The old woman in me never made herself an enemy
Em7 D
Took a while and finally found her faith, says, "Everybody makes mistakes"
Gmaj7
She'll smile and look you in the eye, say, "I love you" too many times
Em7 D
Yeah, but she don't apologize for all that love
[Chorus]
G
She's a no-regretter

I hope someday I get to be the old woman in me, yeah

The old woman in me sits on a front porch swing

Watching her grandkids play, dreaming 'bout yesterday
Em D
Yesterday
