Old Fashioned Love - BJ Thomas

Written by L. Anderson

Verse:

D A

We live in the modern age

F#m Bm

Where love is fast like a turning page

Em D

In a magazine, we've hardly seen

D A

The friends we used to know

F#m Bm

They disappear, they come and go

Like the times we've had

It's kind of sad...

Chorus:

Bm Em

Whatever happened to old fashioned love

A D

The kind that would see you through

G C Em A

The kind of love that my Momma and Daddy knew

Bm Em

Yeah, whatever happened to old fashioned love

A D

The kind that would last through the years

Through the trials

Through the smiles

Em A

Through the tears

Verse 2:

D A

Today is all we've planned

F#m Bm

We say tomorrow we'll understand

If it all should end

We'd be alone again

(Lead)

Ohh, Chorus

Verse 3:

D A

For now the tenderness

F#m

Has been replaced

With something less

And it's hard to find

What we left behind

Ohh, Chorus
