Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice.
Transposed. The chord names and boxes have moved; any tab on this page is still written for the original key.
Walking through the old town, memories in my mind
Every step, every sound, a place I leave behind
Streets are filled with echoes, of laughter and of pain
Time moves on, but the heart remains the same
Some fall in love with kisses
Some fall in love with tears
Some fall in love with people
I fall in love with years
Photographs in faded frames, moments frozen still
Stories told by candle flames, memories that thrill
Seasons change and rivers flow, yet some things never die
Love that grows and time that shows, the reasons why we try
ChorusSame as Chorus. Tap to open.
Some fall in love with kisses
Some fall in love with tears
Some fall in love with people
I fall in love with years
Time is a gentle thief, taking what it will
Leaves behind the gift of grief, and dreams that linger still
But through the days and endless nights, there's a truth that always clears
While some may fall in love with lights, I fall in love with years
Whispers of forgotten friends, faces lost in time
Letters that I'll never send, words that never rhyme
Yet in the silence of the night, I feel them drawing near
Each moment past, a guiding light, I hold those years so dear
ChorusSame as Chorus. Tap to open.
Some fall in love with kisses
Some fall in love with tears
Some fall in love with people
I fall in love with years
So as the sun sets on my days, and shadows start to grow
I cherish all the countless ways, the years have helped me grow
For love that's marked by passing time, is love that perseveres
While others seek what's in their prime, I fall in love with years
