Old Before Your Time Tabbed by: Johan Ambros Tuning: Standard Tuning Intro: F F F/E Dm7 F G F F

^FWhen I was a y^Founger man l^Fookin' for my pot of g^Fold ^FEverywhere I t^Furned the doors were cl^Gosin' Took ^Fevery ounce of f^Faith I had to k^Feep on keepin' ^Fon S^Ftill I felt like ^FI was only l^Gosin'

I ref^Fused then like I d^Fo now to let anybody tie me d^Fown I l^Fost a few good friends along the w^Gay I was r^Faised up poor and I w^Fanted more And maybe I'm a little too pr^Foud L^Fookin' back I see a kid who was j^Gust afraid H^Fungry and ^Gold before this ^Ftime

F F/E Dm7 F G F F

Th^Frough the years I've kn^Fown my share of br^Foken hearted f^Fools And th^Fose who couldn't ch^Foose a path wo^Grth taking There's n^Fothin' in the w^Forld so sad as t^Falking to a m^Fan N^Fever knew his l^Fife was his for m^Gaking

Ain't it ^Fabout time you r^Fealize? It's not worth keepin' sc^Fore You w^Fin some, you lose some and you ^Glet it go W^Fhat's the use of st^Facking on every failure another st^Fone Till you f^Find you've spent your whole life B^Guilding walls ^FLonely and ^Gold before your t^Fime

F F/E Dm7 F G F F

It t^Fook so l^Among to see That tr^Futh was all ar^Amound m^Ge

N^Fow the wren has g^Fone to roost and the sk^Fy is turnin' ^Fgold And l^Fike the sky my s^Foul is also ^Gturnin' T^Furnin' from the p^Fast, at last and ^Fall I've left b^Fehind C^Fould it be that ^FI am finally l^Gearnin'?

L^Fearnin' I'm des^Ferving of love and the peaceful h^Feart I won't ^Ftear myself apart no more for tr^Gyin' Tired of l^Fyin' to mys^Felf, tryin' to buy what can't be b^Fought It's not l^Fivin' that you're doin' if it feels like d^Gyin C^Fryin, growin' ^Gold before your^F time C^Fryin, growin' ^Gold before your^F time
