Your mama said don’t call it love at 14 but sitting on that front porch swing

Refrão:

He gave you his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck
D/F#	Em					      D/F#   C				G
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget the way it felt when he held your hand

You were falling with a boy inside your locket

Refrão:

But every day you had his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck

Heaven is calling and she said my heart is longing for the boy inside your locket
