Fifteen years ago
D - A - D
D A D
1. I saw a man today who said he talked to
you
D G
D
not so long ago I think a month or two.
D G D G
As my mind
raced back in time I prayed, oh, Lord, don't let it show,
D
A
D
he thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago.
D G D
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same,
A - A7
why did he have to
mention your name ?
D G D G
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so.
D G D G
It takes a
mighty strong love to keep a man thinking of
D A D
a girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago. + D - A - D
D A D
2. I've got a lovely wife who
thinks the world of me,
D
G A
promised her my love through all eternity.
D G D G
I've tried
hard to make her happy and so far she doesn't know,
D A D
I can't
shake this thing of fifteen years ago.
+ CHORUS
D G D G
It takes a mighty
long time to get a real love off your mind,
D A D
I know I've
tried since fifteen years ago.
(Conway Twitty)
