G#       C#                                       A#m9
  By the time I was your age I'd give anything to fall in
Love truly
Was all I could think
            F#
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 Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
  A#m9
I can't help but notice you staring at me,
  F#
I know I shouldn't say this,
but I really believe
           G#
That I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me
    F#      C#   A#m9        C      G#    F#
Now son I'm only telling you this because life can do

[Verse 2]
A#m9 F#
G#    C#
  Now most of the time we'd have too much to drink
         A#m9
And we'd 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
       C#
I said Girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
  A#m9
I 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#      C#   A#m9        C      G#    F#
Now son I'm only telling you this because life can do
G#
Terrible things
       F#        C#        A#m9       C    G#   F#
You'll learn one day and I hope and I pray that God
          G#
Shows you differently
         C#
She said Boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
   A#m9
It 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

[Verse 3]
C#      A#m9               F#           G#
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
          A#m9
If you're given the choice then I'm begging you choooose
   F#
To walk away walk away
                        G#
Don't let her get you I can't bare to see the same
Happen to you
