Bm                        F#m 
Even though he was obscene 
 
               A                E 
He fell in love at just nineteen 
 
           D           Bm          E                             A 
with a younger girl who didn't feel the same 
 
          Bm                  F#m             E 
All his friends would gossip and say 
 
A                                        E  
That she would leave some day 
 
        D               Bm                          E 
But he liked to think, of things that could be 
 
A                 E 
So naive at nineteen 
 
      Bm                        F#m 
He treated her like a great piece of gold 
 
           E 
while she, thought that he too old 
 
        Bm                              F#m 
He claimed that love, didn't have an age 
 
         E 
And when she denied him, all their friends became outraged 
 
Bm                              F#m 
He just loved her, and showed her everyday 
 
                 E 
But when he said those three words, she just turned away 
 
Bm                                      F#m 
Although he was hurt, he claimed he loved her from the start 
 
E 
And promised her his heart 
 
          Bm                        F#m 
Even though he was obscene 
 
               A                E 
He fell in love at just nineteen 
 
           D           Bm          E                             A

Bm                                      F#m 
He took her in his arms, and told her that this was right 
 
      E 
And he said he felt it from the start, as he held her very tight 
 
        Bm                                      F#m 
They were always together, since the day they met each other 
 
E        
But now she felt unsure 
 
         Bm                  F#m 
Then turned and looked him in the eye 
 
E 
As she said goodbye 
 
         Bm                        F#m 
Even though he was obscene 
 
               A                E 
He fell in love at just nineteen

So naive at nineteen 
 
Em  G               D                             A 
How he, felt so very bad after waiting, two whole years for her 
 
Em                                  G 
Just to, see her leave with, some other guy, during the summer 
 
D                          A 
He tried to accept, the fact that she was gone 
 
Em                                                      G 
And even though he really tried, it seemed he couldn't move along 
 
D                                       A 
He sent a note about how he felt, around Thanksgiving 
 
Am 
And in the end he wrote "For you...anything..."
