A     D   E 
Nineteen  
  D         A      D   E 
Is not the age of reason. 
 D          Bm     D 
I didn't have a reason 
          A    D   E  D    
For setting you free. 
A       D  E    
I've seen 
  D       A    D   E 
A lot of love go sour. 
  D        Bm      D 
But that's not our love. 
       Bm        D (hold) 
You see the problem was 
       A      D  E  D 
I was only nineteen. 
 
Yeah, I was only nineteen. 

Finished up with high school. 

Headed for a state school. 

Wandered into you. 

Big screen 

Kissing in a movie. 

God, you moved me around. 

We got seriously down. 

But I was only nineteen. 


Bm 
All I ever wanted to do 
D 
Was lie around in bed with you. 
       A      D   E   
I was only nineteen. 
   D      A   D   E 
I was only nineteen. 
D      A      D   E 
I was only nineteen. 
   D      A   D   E 
I was only nineteen.  
 
I've seen 
A lot of love go bad now. 
That's not how our affair 
Would've wound up I swear. 
But I was only nineteen. 
 
Chorus 
 
I was only nineteen.
