[Verse 1]
A Emadd11/G
My son is almost three
F#m7
He used to look just like his dad
Fmaj7
But right now he looks just like me
F#m7 D#dim
And as far as I can see,
D
the fruit I bear is sweet
Fadd11/Bb A
But the apple's rolling real far from the tree
Emadd11/G
And falling down the hill so full of love and so
F#m7
carefree
Fmaj7 F#m7
I wonder if the world will treat him any better than it
treated me
D#dim D
Well, Papa, don't you preach
Fadd11/Bb A
I tried to teach him every day that nothing good is
free, but oh, it should be
[Pre-Chorus]
Emadd11/G F#m7 Fmaj7 Bm7
And with my roots above
A/C# Dmaj7
and all my branches down below
Bm7 A/C# Dmaj7 Bm7 A/C#
Please tell my boy I love him so
Dmaj7 Bm7
Please tell the world I have to grow bеfore I go Well,
A/C#
I just
Dmaj7
wanted you to know
[Chorus]
F#m7 A
That I bеlieve in magic and I believe in sin
Dmaj7
I still believe in Heaven,
Bm9
if they'll never let me in
F#m7 A
I started to believe in love the day I met my little
twin
Dmaj7 Bm9 F#m7 A Dmaj7
I think I might start tryin' because I haven't been
Bm9 A
My momma's getting old
[Verse 2]
Well,
Emadd11/G
it's contagious and you'll catch it like a cold
F#m7 Fmaj7
She won't admit it,
F#m7
but it's something that I know
D#dim D
'Cause every year that passes for me passes her a
hundredfold
Fadd11/Bb A
Back in the day,
Emadd11/G
my dad and I would share a laugh at all of her
F#m7
mistakes
Fmaj7 F#m7
But that alliance didn't save me from her fate
D#dim
No, I didn't last 'til twenty-eight
D
Became a single mom,
Fadd11/Bb
just crushed under the weight
A Emadd11/G
Of a child growing faster than I think that I can take
I love him anyway
F#m7 Fmaj7 A
And I remind myself a time will come when he sees
me turn grey
Emadd11/G
And realizes too late,
F#m7
like I did with my mother
Fmaj7 F#m7 D#dim
So now I tell her to her face
Dsus2
[Pre-Chorus]
Fadd11/Bb Bm7
With all my roots above
A/C# Dmaj7
and all my branches down below
Bm7 A/C# Dmaj7 Bm7 A/C#
Please tell my mom I love her so
Dmaj7 Bm7
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go Well,
A/C#
I just
Dmaj7
wanted you to know
[Chorus]
F#m7 A
That I believe in magic and I still believe in sin
Dmaj7
I still believe in Heaven,
Bm9
if they'll never let me in
F#m7 A
I started to believe in love the day I met my little
twin
Dmaj7 Bm9 F#m7 A Dmaj7
And I might start tryin' because I haven't been
Bm9
I haven't been
[Outro]
F#m7 A Dmaj7 Bm9
F#m7 A Dmaj7
Bm9
F#m7 A Dmaj7 Bm9
I love him so
