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

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

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

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

C C
She said, ?oeBoy can I tell you a terrible thing?
Am Am
?oeIt seems that I?m sick and I?ve only got weeks.
F F
Please don?t be sad now, I really believe,
G G
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me.?

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

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

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