Lyrics

(Bbm7)If I ex pect ed (Cm7)love

when first we kissed,

blame it (Bbm7)on my youth.

If on ly (Bbm7)just for you

I (Ab6/9)did ex ist,

blame it (Ebm7)on my youth.

I be lieved in ev ’ry thing,

just like a (C)child of three.

You meant more (Fm11)than an y thing,

all the world to me.

If you were on my mind

both (Bbm7)night and day,

blame it on my (Eb9sus)youth.

If I for (Bbm7)got to eat,

sleep, and pray,

blame it (Ebm7)on my youth.

If I cried just a lit tle bit

when first

I learned the truth,

don’t you blame it on (Bbm7)my heart,

(Abmaj13)blame it on,

blame (Eb9sus)it on my youth.

(Bbm7)If I ex pect ed (Cm7)love

when first we kissed,

blame it (Bbm7)on my youth.

If on ly (Bbm7)just for you

I (Ab6/9)did ex ist,

blame it (Ebm7)on my youth.

I be lieved in ev ’ry thing,

just like a (C)child of three.

You meant more (Fm11)than an y thing,

all the world to me.

If you were on my mind

both (Bbm7)night and day,

blame it on my (Eb9sus)youth.

If I for (Bbm7)got to eat,

sleep, and pray,

blame it (Ebm7)on my youth.

If I cried just a lit tle bit

when first

I learned the truth,

don’t you blame it on (Bbm7)my heart,

blame it on my (Emaj7)youth,

blame it on my (Abmaj9)youth.
