Verse 1:
      G          D         C
On an 8 track, a 45, or an old cassette tape
          G           D                     C
You can rewind to a different time on a different day
Em           D              C
Relive any memory when you need an escape
          G              D              C
When you can't find the right words to say

Chorus:
                   G     D   C
That's why we love old, old songs
                   G     D    C
That's why we all sing, sing along
Em              D                 C
Take you back, raise your glass, get your heart beating
Em                     D                 C
Pick you up when it's just what you're needing
                   G     D   C
That's why we love old, old songs
                   G     D   C
That's why we love old, old songs

Verse 2:
               G               D                    C
They're the soundtrack to the open road and your wilder days
       G                D                     C
Your first kiss, your first love, all your favorite mistakes
    Em           D             C
So turn it up, make it loud, pour me a drink
     G         D          C
And play me a song I can sing

Chorus:
                   G     D   C
That's why we love old, old songs
                   G     D    C
That's why we all sing, sing along
Em              D                 C
Take you back, raise your glass, get your heart beating
Em                     D                 C
Pick you up when it's just what you're needing
                   G     D   C
That's why we love old, old songs
                   G     D   C
That's why we love old, old songs
