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, or tap Capo 2 to see the real chords with no capo.
Transposed. The chord names and boxes have moved; any tab on this page is still written for the original key.
In ink and seal, a lover's kiss,
In this world of screens, it's touch and miss
Dinners by candlelight, roses on the floor,
Vintage dreams, love's encore.
True romance, it always strives
Through the mayhem, we survive
In the rapid, fleeting cast
Timeworn bonds, they still outlast
Pixel dates, swipes and clicks
Amidst the noise, apps and pics
But a surprise visit, a gentle touch
Rekindles fire, we need so much
Chorus TwoSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.
True romance, it always strives
Through the mayhem, we survive
In the rapid, fleeting cast
Timeworn bonds, they still outlast
Footprints left in the sand
Pledges made, heart in hand
Though years roll, love remains
Old-fashioned love, it sustains
Old-fashioned love, it still survives
Through the chaos, it keeps us alive
In a world that's moving fast
Old-fashioned love, it seems to last
