Old Before Your Time

Intro: G G , C G/B Am G D , C G

Verse 1
G            C           Em     
When I was a younger man lookin'
               C
 for my pot of gold
G            C                    
Everywhere I turned the doors were 
 D
closin'
G            C           Em     
Took every ounce of faith I had 
               C
to keep on keepin' on
G            C                
And still I felt like I was only 
     D
losin'

Chorus 1
C                     G          
I refused then like I do now to 
   G       Em     C
let anybody tie me down
G                                 
And I lost a few good friends 
      D
along the way
C                     G          
I was raised up poor and I wanted
          G       Em     C
 more And maybe I'm a little too 
proud
G                              
Lookin' back I see a kid who was 
         D
just Afraid

C          D              G (repeat 
intro chords starting with C)
Hungry and old before his time

Verse 2 (Verse chords above)
Through the years I've known my 
share of broken hearted fools
(And) those who couldn't choose a 
path worth taking
There's nothin' in the world so sad 
as talking to a man
(Who) never knew his life was his 
for making

Chorus 2 (Chorus chords above)
Ain't it a-bout time you realize? 
It's not worth keepin' score
You win some, you lose some 'n you 
let it go
What's the use of stacking on every 
failure another stone
Till you find you've spent your 
whole life building walls
Lonely and old before your time (G 
to intro chords)

Interlude:
C           Em
It took so long to see
C                  Em     D
That truth was all around me

Verse 3
Now the wren has gone to roost, the 
sky is turnin' gold
'n like the sky my soul is also 
turnin'
Turnin' from the past, at last and 
all I've left behind
Could it be that I am finally 
learnin'?

Chorus 3
Learnin' I'm deserving of love and 
the peaceful heart
Won't tear myself apart no more for 
tryin'
Tired o lyin' to myself, tryin' to 
buy what can't be bought
It's not livin' that you're doin' if
 it feels like dyin
C              D          G
Cryin, growin' old before your time
C              D          G
Cryin, growin' old before your time
