You say that you are leav-ing
6 6 -5* -4 3* 4* -4 -4
They say that I’m too young for you
6 6 -5* -4 3* -4 4*
You say it’s for the bet-ter
4* -5* 6 -6* -4 6 -4 6 -6* -6*
And that one day soon I will un-der-stand
7 -8 -7 6 -6*
I be-lieve that I
7 7 7 7 7 -6* 6 -5
Know you like no oth-er lov-er

I be-lieve my love is old-er than my years
-6 -9 8 -7* -7 7
It’s wis-er than your fears
-7* -7* -6 -6 -7* -7*
It’s tell-ing you to stay
-6 -6 -7* -7*-8*
And not to go
-9 -9 -9* -9 8 -7* 8
Love is wis-dom from the heart
-6 -9 8 -7* -7 7
It tells us who we are
-7* -7* -6 -6 -9 8
So look be-yond my years
-7* -7* -7 7 -7 8 -7*
I’m old-er than my tears

You say that life’s a journey
They say I’m only at the start
You say it’s a beginning
But it feels like the end
If we’re to be apart
I believe that you know me
Like no other lover
Do you believe my love
Is older than my years
It’s wis-er than your fears
It’s tell-ing you to stay
And not to go
Love is wis-dom from the heart
It tells us who we are
So look be-yond my years
