[Primeira Parte]
G F
My son is almost three
Em
He used to look just like his dad
D#
But right now he looks just like me
Em C#m
And as far as I can see
C
The fruit I bear is sweet
G# G
But the apple's rolling real far from the tree
F
And falling down the hill
Em
So full of love and so carefree
D#
I wonder if the world will treat him
Em
Any better than it treated me
C#m C
But papa, don't you preach
G#
I tried to teach him every day
G F Em
That nothing good is free, but always should be
[Pré-Refrão]
D# Am G
And with my roots above
C
And all my branches down below
Am G C Am G
Please tell my boy I love him so
C Am
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
G C
I just wantеd you to know
[Refrão]
Em G
That I believe in magic
C
And I bеlieve in sin
I still believe in Heaven
Am
If they'll never let me in
Em G
I started to believe in love
C
The day I met my little twin
Am
I think I might start tryin'
Em G C Am
'Cause I haven't been
[Segunda Parte]
G
My Momma's getting old
F
Well, it's contagious
Em
And you'll catch it like a cold
D#
She won't admit it
Em
But it's something that I know
C#m
'Cause every year that passes for me
C G#
Passes her a hundredfold
G
Back in the day, my dad and I
F Em
Would share a laugh at all of her mistakes
D# Em
But that alliance didn't save me from her fate
C#m
No, it didn't, I'm still twenty-eight
C
Became a single mom
G#
Just crushed under a rake
G
Of a child growing faster
F
Than I think I can take
Em
I love him anyway
D#
And I remind myself a time will come
G
When he sees me turn grey
F Em
And realize it's too late
Like I did with my mother
D# Em C#m C
So now I tell it to his face
[Pré-Refrão]
D# Am G
And with my roots above
C
And all my branches down below
Am G C Am G
Please tell my boy I love him so
C Am
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
G C
I just wantеd you to know
[Refrão]
Em G
That I believe in magic

And I bеlieve in sin
I still believe in Heaven
