Old Love Never Rusts

Intro 
G   Bm   C   C 


 
G 
40 years of empty rooms 
                               Em 
And late-night what-ifs in my head 
            C 
I lost the girl I loved back then 
                                 G 
And learned how to live with regret 

              G 
Been walking low 

Been feeling tired 
                         Em 
Like the best of me was gone 

        C 
Then a name from long ago 

Lit a fire 
               G 
I thought was done 

           Em 
One small message 
         D 
One old smile 
            C                   D 
Brought my whole world back to life 
 

 
     G 
Old love never rusts 
D/F# 
It just waits 
        Em 
Like a song you never forget 

 D        C 
Time can bend us, break us, change us 
                             G 
But some hearts don't age a day 

         Em 
Now she laughing like she used to 
       Bm                C 
And I feel young in her eyes 

Cm                    Am    D 
Yeah, old love never rusts 
            G     G 
It just survives 
 

 
G 
I been down roads paved with sorrow 
Em 
Carried more than I could hold 
Em Dm        C 
     Didn't think my heart could open 
                            G 
Didn't think I'd feel this whole 

              G 
But there she is 

Same kind soul 
               D/F#    Em 
In a different chapter now 
                 D/F#       C 
Makes me happier than I've been 
                       G   G 
And I don't even know how 


G D/F#   Em 
   Is it crazy 
       D 
Is it right 
              C                   D 
To feel this hope after all this time? 
 

 
     G 
Old love never rusts 
D/F# 
It just waits 
        Em 
Like a promise you never break 
      D/F#   C 
Years fall away when she smiles 
                      G     G 
And I don't feel the weight 

G   D/F# Em 
 If this joy is just a second chance 
Bm                   C 
I'll take it all my life 

C N.C.                  Am    D 
  Yeah, old love never rusts 
            G    G 
It just survives  


{Break} 
       C 
Maybe time was never cruel 
                               G 
Maybe it just knew we weren't ready back then 
            D 
But we are now 
        G 
Me and you 


 
     G 
Old love never rusts 
D/F# 
 It stays true 
             Em 
Through the years and all the scars too 

     Dm       C 
She makes me happy like I forgot was real 
                        G 
Like nothing else could do 
   D/F#     Em 
If this is love coming back around 
     Bm         C 
I'm holding on tight 

N..C.                 Am 
Yeah, old love never rusts 
         D 
It just waits 
         G          G 
For the right time 
 

Outro 
G D/F#  Em 
  After 40 years and broken trust 
Bm                     C 
  I learned one thing that's true 


N.C.            Am 
Old love never rusts 
           D   D 
When it's real 
N.C.                 G   G 
It comes back to you
