E/B B E/B B
B E B/F# F# B/F# F#
You always say you like my style;
B E F#
You say I'm tough and kind of wild.
B E B/F# F# B/F# F#
Am I too much for you to tame?
B E
I swear this time
A F#
It's not a game.
E F#
I've known a lot of girls;
E F#
No, this I won't deny.
E
I'll give our love,
F#
I'll give it more than a try.
B F# G#m
That was then
E
This is now.
B F#m
Let me prove my love, girl;
G#m E
I'll make you proud.
B F# G#m
I never made
E
This kind of vow.
B F# E F#
But that was then and this is now.
B E B/F# F# B/F# F#
I've led a thousand lives, it seems;
B E F#
There's been a lot of broken dreams.

B E B/F# F# B/F# F#
My mind, it just swept love aside.
B E
But you broke me down,
A F#
You've put me wise.
E F#
I doubted all compassion,
E F#
But you showed me the score.
E
I can't doubt it,
F#
I don't doubt it no more
B F# G#m
That was then
E
This is now.
B F#m
Let me prove my love, girl;
G#m E
I'll make you proud.
B F# G#m
I never made
E
This kind of vow.
B F# E F#
But that was then and this is now.

That was then

Let me prove my love, girl;
G#m E
I'll make you proud.
B F# G#m
I never made
E
This kind of vow.
