#2.
C      Am        F     G    C
Are they old enough to know if love will last for life?
C      Am      F    G   C
Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife?
  C       C7        F        Fm
Within the past I bet it's happened more than once before.
   C        Am     F    G    C
When someone else was seventeen, another, one year more.

BRIDGE:
G       D         G
Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong?
G         D       G        G7
As long as God has no objections there can be no wrong.

#3.
C       Am         F      G
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best.
C         Am       F         G
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test.
   C       C7        F        Fm
Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before.
   C        Am      F   G    C
When someone else was seventeen, another, one year more.

BRIDGE:
G       D         G

As long as God has no objections there can be no wrong.

Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before.
