Well I once knew a girl with a look in her eyes
A E E7
She taught me of loving anew
Bmin D A
And with a heart so reckless, and free of all care
F#min D A
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

A D A
So I went off a travelling, and dreaming of her
A E E7
She lay awake at home
Bmin D A
On my arrival, her heart was a stone
F#min D A
And that house was no longer my own



D A
So give yourself when you’re young
D E E7
Just know when you’re swimming too deep
Bmin D A
‘Cause a young heart will love you for all of your days
F#min D D - A
But when it leaves, then it’s your heart it keeps

In this life there’s a wind that will blow at your back
A E E7
Then turn and spit dust in your teeth
Bmin D A
And that wind will bring fortune, love and good health
F#min D A
But like all things, there’s more underneath



A D A
So be good to your words, and love when you can
A E E7
It’s all you can take to your sleep
Bmin D A
And a young heart is reckless, and free of all care
F#min D A
As only the lucky will see




D A
So give yourself when you’re young
D E E7
Just know when you’re swimming too deep
Bmin D A
‘Cause a young heart will love you for all of your days
F#min D D - A
But when it leaves, then it’s your heart it keeps


Bmin A (D-A)
You fall asleep alone,
D E E7
and you know what you’ll find in your dreams

Bmin D A
‘Cause a young heart will love you for all of your days
F#min D D - A
But when it leaves, then it’s your heart it keeps
