| D | D | A7 | D |

[Verse 1]
D                                 A7              D
You keep saying you love him, I believe that it's true.
                                A7          D
And it just doesn't matter, how much I love you.
                        D7               G          D
But in time you'll understand dear, when you shed a tear.
                                     A7          D
Then you'll know you were living, in your tender years. (tender years)

[Verse 2]
D                                         A7          D
In your eyes there's a love light, that's shining for him.
                                           A7              D
But how long will it stay there, will that love light grow dim?
                     D7             G             D
You can just see the happiness, you can't see the tears.
                                 A7          D
It's true cause your  living, in your tender years. (tender years)

[Verse 3]
D                                       A7               D
 So if I can't be your first love, I'll wait and be your last.
                                          A7             D
I'll be somewhere in your future, to help you forget the past.
                       D7               G              D
And you'll know that I love you, with a love that's sincere.
                                               A7          D

Yes I'll wait 'til you're through living, in your tender years. (tender years)
