A5     D5   E5 
Nineteen  
  D5         A5      D5   E5 
Is not the age of reason. 
 D5          B5     D5 
I didn't have a reason 
          A5    D5   E5  D5    
For setting you free. 
A5       D5  E5    
I've seen 
  D5       A5    D5   E5 
A lot of love go sour. 
  D5        B5      D5 
But that's not our love. 
       B5        D5 (hold) 
You see the problem was 
       A5      D5  E5  D5 
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. 


B5 
All I ever wanted to do 
D5 
Was lie around in bed with you. 
       A5      D5   E5   
I was only nineteen. 
   D5      A5   D5   E5 
I was only nineteen. 
D5      A5      D5   E5 
I was only nineteen. 
   D5      A5   D5   E5 
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.
