[Intro] F  C/E  Dm  Am/C  Bb  F/A  C

F                          C/E    Dm
They met at school, that's how it goes
                Am/C   Bb
Some drinks and then a rose
              F/A  C
Then plans to meet again
F                   C/E        Dm
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose
              Am/C Bb
She knew that he'd propose
             F/A  C
She only wondered when

    Dm                C/E     F
One night before they went to bed
           Dm/A    Bb
He kneeled on both knees
    Dm/A            C/G
And this is what he said:

  F          Bb
I may not be wise
C   Dm      C        Bb
But I won't save the day
    F          Bb
But look in my eyes
C   Dm        C      Bb
And know I'll always stay
    Edim7  Bb     F
And I won't run away
Edim7  Bb    F C/E Dm Am/C Bb F/A C
I won't run away

F                       C/E   Dm
Some years went by they had a child
              Am/C         Bb
He was funny, strange, and mild
               F/A     C
Their love for him ran deep
F                            C/E       Dm
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
        Am/C    Bb                F/A  C
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep

Dm                    C/E    F
One night he couldn't get to bed
               Dm/A    Bb
So she kneeled on both knees
    Dm/A             C/G
And this is what she said:

  F          Bb
I may not be wise
C   Dm      C        Bb
But I won't save the day
    F          Bb
But look in my eyes
C   Dm        C      Bb
And know I'll always stay
    Edim7  Bb       F
And I won't run away
Edim7  Bb    F C/E Dm Am/C Bb F/A Dm/F C
I won't run away

F                  C/E     Dm
You say it's safer on your own
             Am/C  Bb
You'd rather sleep alone
             F/A     C
Then grow to need me there
F              C/E     Dm
But I hope now you can see
        Am/C               Bb
What my mom and dad showed me
        F/A   C
I'm not going anywhere

Dm                  C/E       F
I love you more and more each day
           Dm/A   Bb
To love is not to leave
   Dm/A         C/G
So hear me when I say:

  F          Bb
I may not be wise
C   Dm      C        Bb
But I won't save the day
    F          Bb
But look in my eyes
C   Dm        C      Bb
And know I'll always stay
    Edim7  Bb       F C/E Dm Am/C Bb F/A C
And I won't run away
