[Song]
{t:  TOO YOUNG TO DIE THIS OLD }

 
{C:Blame this one on Russell !

He posted his awesome cover of  too old to die young from the Django unchained movie.
I must have listened to it 50 times - it is soooooo good!!

Well then I went for a walk and was listening to it on my MP3 player and thought to myself --- if I turn the title around a bit - I think there's a song in there somewhere !  That was a few days ago.  This morning I woke up at 5 am and thought about that revised wording of the title and this is what popped into my brain....  about a young alcoholic.
( Don't ask why - it just did ! smile  )

Hope you like it . }



Too Young To Die All Alone
intro
[Em]  All alone,  I'm all alone,
[Am] All alone,  all alone,
[B7]  All alone,  I'm all alone
gonna [Em]die forgotten , all alone

[Em]Ignored the warnings that  I was   given
Always, [Am]took the road of easy livin’
though I [B7] knew it was a dead end
and [Em] alcohol was my only friend

[Em]  [Am]  [B7]   [Em]

[Em] family members   seem to disappear
I [Am]  drowned one more  with every beer
[B7]No longer  welcomed in my own home
I’m, [Em]  bitter, broke,  and    all alone

[Em]  [Am]  [B7]   [Em]

CHORUS
[Am]When did my life turn into this  awful dream
[Em]How did I fall for the devil’s scheme
[AM]Why’d I let my heart turn so damn cold
[B7]I’m  way too young to  be this [Em]old
  I’m [B7] way too  young to  die all [Em]alone


[Em]Time passes  now , slower and slower
my [Am]mirror  shows me older and older
[B7] good times are a thing of the past
I [Em]wonder if today  is  my last

CHORUS
[Am]When did my life turn into this  awful dream
[Em]How did I fall for the devil’s scheme
[AM]Why’d I let my heart turn so damn cold
[B7]I’m  way too young to  be this [Em]old
  I’m [B7] way too  young to  die all [Em]alone
  I’m [B7] way too  young to  die all [Em]alone
  I’m [B7] way too  young to  die all [Em]alone
[/song]
