Verse 1:
G                   C        
One night I fell in love with a 
          G
little girl
      C        D        G
And I gave her my whole world
G                         C      
And I knew right then I'd never 
      G
get it back
      C              D        G
And I wondered how I fell for that


Verse 2:
G                      C         
Five months later with tears in 
        G
both her eyes
    C               D        G
She handed me those two pink lines
G                   C            
The only test in my whole life I 
       G
didn't fail
  C                D              
I told her we'd be fine, but I was
           G
 scared as hell

Chorus:
C          G       C             
Ooohhh, my love, I hope it doesn't 
  G
show
C       G         C        G
But I'm scared to death of drowning
C        G           C       G
In these things that I don't know
C          G       C       
Ooohhh, my love, I hope you'll 
         G
understand
    C              G          D
The truth is I'm a boy, who's tryin 
to be a man


Verse 3:
G                         C      
I got a hand me down gold ring to
         G
 make it right
            C                      
And I could feel you kick when the 
D                    G
judge said "Kiss the bride"
G                               C
But your momma and me we walked 
           G
out hand in hand
      C                 D         
Soon, three against the world, 
         G
we'd make a stand


Verse 4:
G                            C   
But on the day that you were born
                G
 she got called home
             C                D   
And it's the darkest thing my 
           G
heart has ever known
G                          C 
The doctor said "I'm sorry" And 
                 G
handed you to me
  C                   D      
I looked in your blue eyes and 
                G
couldn't even speak


Chorus:
G            C      G      C   
To tell you "Oh, my son, I hope
            G
 it doesn't show,
C       G         C        G
But I'm scared to death of drowning
C        G           C       G
In these things that I don't know.
C        G      C       
Whoa, my son, I hope you'll 
         G
understand
    C              G         D
The truth is I'm a boy, just tryin 
to be a man.
        C              G          
Oh your daddy's just a boy, who's 
D              G
trying to be a man...
