Verse 1

G
Lord a hundred years from now I won’t be crying
G                                   D
A hundred years from now I won’t be blue
G                                                      C
And my heart would have forgotten that you broke every vow
G              D                  G
I won’t care a hundred years from now

Verse 2

G
Lord it seems that it was yesterday you told me
G                                     D
You couldn’t live without my love somehow
G                                                   C
Now that you’re with another it breaks my heart somehow
G              D                  G
I won’t care a hundred years from now

Verse 3

G
Now do you recall the night sweetheart you promised
G                                D
Another’s kiss you never would allow
G                                             C
That’s all in the past dear it didn’t seem to last
G              D                  G
I won’t care a hundred years from now
