Before My Time By John Conlee Written By Ben Peters E G#m C#m A He lied, he cheated till he broke your heart E C#m F#m B And you can't count the teardrops you cried E G#m C#m A He made you afraid to make a new start E B E And that's why you've never tried Chorus: E B E But that was before my time A E And darlin', that's all behind A E C#m I'll help you forget in these arms of mine E B E What happened before my time You never had someone to love you so strong And nothing else matters at all I know you've carried those heartaches too long And now you're afraid to fall Chorus I'll help you forget in these arms of mine What happened before my time
