       C                                                     Am
By the time I was your age I?d give anything to fall in love truly
                                   F
was all I could think, that?s when I met your mother the girl of my dreams,
         G
the most beautiful woman that I?d ever seen.
           C
She said, ?oeBoy can I tell you a wonderful thing??
 Am
?oeI can?t help but notice you staring at me,
  F
I know I shouldn?t say this, but I really believe,
      G
I can tell by your eyes that you?re in love with me.?

    F        G      Am                       F           G
Now son, I?m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.

    C
Now most of the time we?d have too much to drink
                       Am
and we?d laugh at the stars and share everything.
F
Too young to notice and too dumb to care,
G
love was a story that couldn?t compare.
       C
I said girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
   Am
?oeI made you a present with paper and string,
F
open with care now, I?m asking you please,
    G
you know that I love you, will you marry me??

    F        G    Am                       F           G
Now son, I?m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
       F         G          Am                   F             G
You?ll learn one day, and I hope and I pray that God shows you differently.

           C
She said, ?oeBoy can I tell you a terrible thing?
    Am
?oeIt 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 thing that ever happened to me.?

F        G       Am            
Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees.

   C
So don?t fall in love there?s just too much to lose
   Am
if you?re given the choice, I?m begging you choose to
F
walk away, walk away,
             G
don?t let it get you, I can?t bare to see the same happen to you.

   F        G    Am                       F           G
Now son, I?m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
