G
I KNOW THAT HEARTS WERE LOVING
D
LONG BEFORE I WAS HERE
AND I'M NOT THE FIRST TO EVER CRY
G
IN MY BED OR IN MY BEER
C
THERE WERE SONGS BEFORE THERE WAS RADIO
G Em
OF LOVE THAT STAYS AND LOVE THAT GOES
Am
THEY WERE WRITING MELONCHOLY TUNES
C D
AND TEARFUL WORDS THAT RHYME
G
BEFORE MY TIME
D G
BEFORE MY TIME
VERSE:
THERE WERE SONGS IN OLD DUSTY BOOKS
OF LOVE THATS ALWAYS BEEN
SWEET LOVERS IN THEIR GLORY
WHO ARE NOW GONE WITH THE WIND
OLD FASHION LOVE WORDS SPOKEN THEN
KEEP COMING BACK AROUND AGAIN
NOTHINGS CHANGED EXCEPT THE NAMES
THEIR LOVE BURNS JUST LIKE MINE
BEFORE MY TIME
BEFORE MY TIME
BREAK:
C
AND IN THE DIM OF YESTERDAY
G
I CAN CLEARLY SEE
C
THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CRIED OUT TO SOMEONE
G D
AS IT DOES IN ME
G
AND THERE WAS SOME OLD SONG THAT SAID
C
I LOVE YOU 'TIL I DIE

BEFORE MY TIME

VERSE:
BUT WHAT THE OLD TIME MASTERS HAD
IS WHAT I FEEL FOR YOU
LOVE IS LOVE AND DOESN'T CHANGE
IN A CENTURY OR TWO
IF SOMEWAY THEY HAD SEEN AND KNEW
HOW IT WOULD BE FOR ME AND YOU
THEY'D WISH FOR LOVE LIKE YOURS
AND THEY WOULD WISH FOR LOVE LIKE MINE
BEFORE MY TIME
