VERSE:
[G]I KNOW THAT HEARTS WERE LOVING
LONG B[D]EFORE I WAS HERE
AND I'M NOT THE FIRST TO EVER CRY
IN MY B[G]ED OR IN MY BEER
THERE WERE SO[C]NGS BEFORE THERE WAS RADIO
OF LO[G]VE THAT STAYS AND L[Em]OVE THAT GOES
THEY WERE W[Am]RITING MELONCHOLY TUNES
AND TE[C]ARFUL WORDS THAT RH[D]YME
BEFORE MY T[G]IME
[D] BEFORE MY T[G]IME

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:
AND [C]IN THE DIM OF YESTERDAY
[G]I CAN CLEARLY SEE
THAT FL[C]ESH AND BLOOD CRIED OUT TO SOMEONE
[G]AS IT DOES IN [D]ME
AND THERE WAS S[G]OME OLD SONG THAT SAID
I L[C]OVE YOU 'TIL I DIE
BEFORE MY T[G]IME
[D] BEFORE MY T[G]IME

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
BEFORE MY TIME
