Too Young to Be Old

Verse:
D                                          A
    I can't believe you let me get married
                       Bm                          G
When you made me pinky swear that you were my true love
     A                 D
The one who braids my hair
                               A
You moved me into an apartment
                      Bm
You assembled all my chairs
                       G                    A
But dinner's not the same when you're not there

Pre-chorus:
             G                              A
The hardest part of growing up is watching time take everyone you love
    Bm                   A
But I won't let it. No I won't accept it.

Chorus:
            D           A
You're too young to be old
            Bm         G
You're too fast to be slow
            D           A
You're too wise to be confused
            Bm            G
And I can't do this on my own
                 D
Your lungs are strong
              Gbm
Your mind is sharp
       Bm                    G
Daddy please don't break my heart
     D           A
And stay, don't go
            Bm            G            D
You're too young, far too young to be old

Verse:
D                       A
Now you go to bed early
                        Bm
And your hair is mostly grey
                               G                 A        D
I let you tell the same story that you told me yesterday
D                            A
You walked me down the aisle
                  Bm
Then you gave me away
                     G           A
Maybe I'm in denial but I'm so afraid

Pre-chorus:
              G                             A
The hardest part of growing up is watching time take everyone you love
    Bm                   A
But I won't let it. No I won't accept it.

Chorus:
            D           A
You're too young to be old
            Bm         G
You're too fast to be slow
             D          A
You're too wise to be confused
            Bm             G
And I can't do this on my own
                D
Your lungs are strong
              Gbm
Your mind is sharp
       Bm                    G
Daddy please don't break my heart
     D          A
And stay, don't go
            Bm             Gm            D
You're too young, far too young to be

Bridge:
D                                 A
How could you let me get married?
                    Bm
I thought we pinky swore
                    G
You'll always be my first love

Chorus:
            D           A
You're too young to be old
            Bm         G
You're too fast to be slow
            D           A
You're too wise to be confused
            Bm             G
And I can't do this on my own
                 D
Your lungs are strong
              Gbm
Your mind is sharp
         Bm             G
I'm not ready for this part
D            A
Stay, don't go
            Bm             G            D
You're too young, far too young to be old
