Intro: G | D | G

G
I've lived a dozen lifetimes in twenty-some-odd years
                                       D
Got no use for trouble, got no use for tears
G                                        C       G
Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time
                           D                  G
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life

     C               G       C                   G
I've had my share of sorrow, more than you could know
C                  G                            D
Save your lies and alibis, I've heard that tune before
G                                        C       G
Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time
                           D                  G
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life


Instrumental: G | C | G

G
You're out all night, asleep all day, so pack it up and leave
                                         D
'Got no use for trouble, trouble's using me
G                                      C        G
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

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