Elaine C Original chords

Even thou[Am]gh he was obscene [Em]
He fell in love[G] at just nineteen[D]
with a youn[C]ger girl who[Am] didn't feel[D] the same [G]
All his fr[Am]iends would gossip a[Em]nd say [D]
[G]That she would leave some day [D]
But he l[C]iked to think, o[Am]f things that could be [D]
[G]So naive at ninete[D]en

He tre[Am]ated her like a great piec[Em]e of gold
while she, [D]thought that he too old
He claim[Am]ed that love, didn't have an age[Em]
And when [D]she denied him, all their friends became outraged

[Am]He just loved her, and showed he[Em]r everyday
But when he said [D]those three words, she just turned away
[Am]Although he was hurt, he claimed he love[Em]d her from the start
[D]And promised her his heart

Even thoug[Am]h he was obscene [Em]
He fell in love[G] at just nineteen[D]
with a youn[C]ger girl who[Am] didn't feel[D] the same [G]

[G]That she would leave some day [D]

[Am]He took her in his arms, and told her th[Em]at this was right
And he[D] said he felt it from the start, as he held her very tight
They wer[Am]e always together, since the day they me[Em]t each other
[D]But now she felt unsure
Then turn[Am]ed and looked him in[Em] the eye
[D]As she said goodbye

Even thou[Am]gh he was obscene [Em]

[Dm]How [F]he, felt so very[C] bad after waiting, two whole [G]years for her
[Dm]Just to, see her leave with, some ot[F]her guy, during the summer
[C]He tried to accept, the fac[G]t that she was gone
[Dm]And even though he really tried, it seemed he couldn't m[F]ove along
[C]He sent a note about how he felt, around[G] Thanksgiving
[Gm]And in the end he wrote "For you...anything..."
