G 1. I know that hearts were lovingD long before I was here and I'm not the first to evr cryG in my bed or in my beerC there were songs before there was radioG Em or love that stays and love that goesAm they were writing meloncholy tunesC D and tearful words that rhymeG before my timeD G before my time 2. There were songs in old dusty books of love thats always been sweet lovers in their glory who are now gone with thw 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 timeC R: And in the dim of yesterdayG I can clearly seeC that flesh and blood cried out to someoneG D as it does in meG and there was some old song that saidC I love you' til I dieG before my timeD G before my time 3. 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's wisk for love like yours and they would wish for love like mine before my time before my time
