Intro Em D (8 Bars)
Em D C Bm
When I was younger, so much younger, and so new
Em D C Bm
Didn’t know much, about real life. Didn’t know what to do.
C G D Em
I looked for love in every life, that came along my way.
Em D C D Em C D
All I found just let me down, and I’d walk away….
Em D C Bm
When I was younger, so much younger in my ways
Em D C Bm
My heart was full ,of many loves, most would fade away
C G D Em
To a place where they reside, memories I’d befriend,
Em D C D Em C D
Now I know that love is lost, when cold hearts they set in.
Chorus
G D C D G
When I was younger…. (Younger then today)

Trying to deal with life, and rest without these fears

Inside my memories, to live another day!
