[Intro 1]
[C][C][Am][Am]
[F][F][G][G]

[Verse 1]
By the [C]time I was your age, I'd give anything
To [Am]fall in love truly, was all I could think
That's when [F]I met your mother,
the girl of my dreams
The most [G]beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen
She said, [C]boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I [Am]can't help but notice, you're staring at me
I [F]know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe
I can [G]tell by your eyes
that you're in love with me

[Chorus 1]
Now [F]son, I'm [G]only [E]telling you [Am]this
Because [F]life, can do [G]terrible things

[Interlude 1]
[C][C][Am][Am]
[F][F][G][G]

[Verse 2]
Now [C]most of the time,
we'd had too much to drink
And we'd [Am]laugh at the stars
and we'd share everything
[F]Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
[G]Love was a story, that couldn't compare
I said, [C]girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I [Am]made you a present with paper and string
[F]Open with care now, I'm asking you, please
You [G]know that I love you, will you marry me?

[Chorus 2]
Now [F]son, I'm [G]only [E]telling you [Am]this
Because [F]life, can do [G]terrible things
You'll [F]learn, one [G]day, I'll [E]hope and I'll [Am]pray
That [F]God, shows you [G]differently

[Verse 3]
She said, [C]boy can I tell you, a terrible thing?
It [Am]seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks
[F]Please, don't be sad now, I really believe
[G]You were the greatest

[Interlude 2]
thing that ever happened to me
[C][C][Am][Am]
[F][F][G][G]

[Bridge 1]
[C]Slow, so [Am]slow
I fell to [F]the ground, on [G]my knees

[Verse 4]
So [C]don't fall in love,
there's just too much to lose
If you're [Am]given the choice,
then, I'm begging you, choose
To [F]walk away, walk away, don't let her get you
I [G]can't bear to see the same happen to you

[Chorus 3]
Now [F]son, I'm [G]only [E]telling you [Am]this
Because [F]life, can do [G]terrible [C]things
