Am                        Em
Even though he was obscene

               G                D
He fell in love at just nineteen

           C           Am          D                             G
with a younger girl who didn't feel the same

          Am                  Em             D
All his friends would gossip and say

G                                        D 
That she would leave some day

        C               Am                          D
But he liked to think, of things that could be

G                 D
So naive at nineteen



      Am                        Em
He treated her like a great piece of gold

           D
while she, thought that he too old

        Am                              Em
He claimed that love, didn't have an age

         D
And when she denied him, all their friends became outraged




Am                              Em
He just loved her, and showed her everyday

                 D
But when he said those three words, she just turned away

Am                                      Em
Although he was hurt, he claimed he loved her from the start

D
And promised her his heart




          Am                        Em
Even though he was obscene

Am                                      Em
He took her in his arms, and told her that this was right

      D
And he said he felt it from the start, as he held her very tight

        Am                                      Em
They were always together, since the day they met each other

D       
But now she felt unsure

         Am                  Em
Then turned and looked him in the eye

D
As she said goodbye




         Am                        Em

Dm  F               C                             G
How he, felt so very bad after waiting, two whole years for her

Dm                                  F
Just to, see her leave with, some other guy, during the summer

C                          G
He tried to accept, the fact that she was gone

Dm                                                      F
And even though he really tried, it seemed he couldn't move along

C                                       G
He sent a note about how he felt, around Thanksgiving

Gm
And in the end he wrote "For you...anything..."
