Before My Time
View chords used in this chart
E G#m C#m A
He lied, he cheated till he broke your heart
E C#m F#m B
And you can't count the teardrops you cried
E G#m C#m A
He made you afraid to make a new start
E B E
And that's why you've never tried
[Refrão] E B E
But that was before my time
A E
And darlin', that's all behind
A E C#m
I'll help you forget in these arms of mine
E B E
What happened before my time
You never had someone to love you so strong
And nothing else matters at all
I know you've carried those heartaches too long
And now you're afraid to fall
Chorus
I'll help you forget in these arms of mine
What happened before my time
