Standard (EADGBE)

Introl

I've lived a dozen lifetimes in twenty-some-odd years

 Got no use for trouble, got no use for tears

Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time

 I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life

Chorus

 I've had my share of sorrow, more than you could know

 Save your lies and alibis, I've heard that tune before

Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time

 I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life

Break 1

Mandolin G(9)

Verse 2

You're out all night, asleep all day, so pack it up and leave

I've got no use for trouble, trouble's using me

Don't you see my love won't be forever deaf and blind

I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life

Chorus
