Tom : D
D A
We live in the modern age
F#m Bm
Where love is fast like a turning page
Em D
In a magazine, we've hardly seen
D A
The friends we used to know
F#m Bm
They disappear, they come and go
Em
Like the times we've had
D
It's kind of sad...
Chorus:
Bm Em
Whatever happened to old fashioned love
A D
The kind that would see you through
G C Em A
The kind of love that my Momma and Daddy knew
Bm Em
Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love
A D
The kind that would last through the years
G
Through the trials
C
Through the smiles
Em A
Through the tears
Verse 2:
D A
Today is all we've planned
F#m Bm
We say tomorrow we'll understand
Em
If it all should end
D
We'd be alone again
(Lead)
Ohh, Chorus
Verse 3:
D A
For now the tenderness
F#m
Has been replaced
Bm
With something less
Em
And it's hard to find
D
What we left behind
