Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]When I rearrange the pieces
of the puzzle of my past
I sigh at the [G]heartaches, [Em]relive the laughs
And I [A]think about the moments
that have [Em]left their mark
And the too [A]few faces that shine
[Em]a little light [A]in [D]the dark

[Verse 2]
If [C]you don't mind I'm gonna
[G]tell you a story
And I [D]think that it won't [A]bore you
For [C]it's a tale that [G]I've never told
To [D]anyone be[A]fore you- - 'cause it's for [D]you[Em][D][F#m]
[G][D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Em][A][D][G][D]
[A][Bm][A][G][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]The sun of sixteen [F#m]sum mers
had put [Bm]halos [A]in your hair
[G]If anything was [F#m]in my head,
twelve [Em]winters put it [A]there
A [D]dollar an hour is [F#m]what Mama paid
you to [Bm]come and mind her kid[A]s
But [G]no one could really pay [F#m]you
enough [Em]for what you really [A]did

[Verse 4]
Many [D]happy things keep [Em]happening
On my [D]journey through this [G]world
And in many [D]ways,
that I will [G]never under[Asus4]stand[A]
I was [D]much too late
To be the [G]first to make you [D]a wo[A]man
[Bm]But [A]you were[G] the one
Who [A]made my mother's
son a [G]man
[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
You know I used to read myself
[F#m]to sle[Bm]ep when I went to bed[A]
I [G]guess I was [F#m]a dreamer then who
[Em]lived inside my [A]head
But the [D]nights that you came [F#m]you talked of things,
[Bm]I found I had [A]a friend
You [G]brought my fears of [D]people
to a [Em]sure and gentle [A]end

[Verse 6]
Many [D]happy things keep [Em]happening
On my [D]journey through this world
[G]And in many way[D]s,
that I will [G]never under[Asus4]stand[A]
I was [D]much too late
To be the [G]first to make you a [D]wo [A]man
[Bm]But [A]you [G]were the one
Who [A]made my mother's son a [G]man
[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]
Do you re[C]member the night
when you [G]turned out the light
And [D]said to me: "Please [A]hold me"
I [C]did not know which [G]way to go
So I [D]did just what [A]you told

[Verse 8]
me "Please hold me"
[D]When I think about you[F#m] now it's
[Bm]not that my memory f[A]ails
There's [G]just no need [F#m]for graphic
telling [Em]of all the det[A]ails
[D]Let's just say you taught [F#m]me something
that [Bm]brought me from my [A]shell
You [G]gave to me that [F#m]first sweet taste
of the [Em]heaven here in this [A]hell

[Verse 9]
Many [D]happy things keep [Em]happening
On my [D]journey through [G]this world
And in [D]many ways,
that I will [G]never un[C]der[Em]stand[A]
I was [D]much too late
To be the [G]first to make you a [D]wo [A]man
[Bm]But [A]you were[G] the one
Who made [A]my mother's son a [G]man
[G]
