[Verse]

       C
By the time I was your age Id give 
anything,
   Am
To fall in love truly was all I 
could think,
            F
Thats when I met your mother,

The girl of my dreams,
         G
The most beautiful woman that Id 
ever seen.
         C
She said boy can I tell you a 
wonderful thing?
Am
I cant help but notice youre staring
 at me,
F
I know I shouldnt say this but I 
really believe,
      G
I can tell by your eyes,

That youre in love with me.


[Chorus]

    F        G     Am         C 
Now son Im only telling you this
           F
 because life,
          G
can do terrible things.

  C
Now most of the time wed have too 
much to drink,
         Am
And wed laugh at the stars and wed 
share everything,
F
Too young to notice,

And too dumb to care,
 G
Love was a story that couldnt 
compare.
       C
I said girl can I tell you a 
wonderful thing?
Am
I made you a present of paper and 
string,
 F
Open with care now Im asking you 
please,
     G
You know that I love you,

Will you marry me?


[Chorus]

    F       G      Am         C 
Now son Im only telling you this
            F            G
 because life can do terrible 
things.
       F         G      Am        
Youll learn one day, I hope and I 
 C         F
pray that god,
            G
Shows you differently.


[Verse]

          C
She said boy can I tell you a 
terrible thing?
   Am
It seems that Im sick,

And Ive only got weeks.
  F
Please dont be sad now,

I really believe,
                G
You were the greatest thing that 
ever happened to me.

C        Am
Slow, So Slow,
              F
I fell to the ground,
   G
On my knees.


[Verse]

   C
So dont fall in love theres just too
 much to lose,
          Am
If youre given the choice then I beg
 you to choose,
   F
To walk away walk away,

Dont let it get you,
    G
I cant bear to see the same happen 
to you.


[Chorus]

    F       G       Am       C  
Now son Im only telling you this
           F
 because life,
       G                C
Can do terrible things.
