D                    G    D 
Between a rock and a hard place 
          G                  A 
Whether I like it or not I'm digging my grave 
        D                      G 
Friends ask me why I choose to stay 
          D          A    D 
Between a rock and a hard place 

                G       D 
I ain't getting younger now 
           A              G 
I'm fading like a setting sun 
        G             D              A 
I ain't strong like I was when I was young 
        G                   D 
But for all the things I've lost 
      A              G 
There are a few I've gained 
     D              A 
Most came between a rock and a hard place 

D                     G            D 
Maybe I want to stare death in the face 
                             G      A 
Pound my chest and scream, I ain't afraid 
             D                                   G 
Truth is I'm beaten down and broken from all the weight 
                       A         D 
Pushing me to trade my guilt for grace 

                G       D 
I ain't getting younger now 
           A              G 
I'm fading like a setting sun 
        G             D              A 
I ain't strong like I was when I was young 
        G                   D 
But for all the things I've lost 
      A              G 
There are a few I've gained 
     D              A               G     D 
Most came between a rock and a hard place 

A      G     D A 
A hard place 
A      G     D A D  G A D A (?) 
A hard place 

D                          G       D 
So when you lay me down to rest in peace 
                          G        A 
Set my tombstone flat on top of my grave 
   D                        G 
So forever my body will lay between 
  D          A    D 
A rock and a hard place 

                G       D 
I ain't getting younger now

I'm fading like a setting sun
