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

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
