Verse 1:
FF                 DmDm
They met at school, that's how it goes
            Bb majorBb
Some drinks and then a rose
          C majorC  FF
Then plans to meet again
                DmDm
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose
          Bb majorBb
She knew that he'd propose
         C majorC
She only wondered when

Pre-Chorus:
  DmDm            FF
One night before they went to bed
          Bb majorBb
He kneeled on both knees
          C majorC
And this is what he said:

Chorus:
 FF      Bb majorBb
I may not be wise
  FF    Bb majorBb    DmDm
But I won't save the day
  FF     Bb majorBb
But look in my eyes
  FF     Bb majorBb   DmDm
And know I'll always stay
  BbmBbm     FF
And I won't run away
BbmBbm     FF
I won't run away

Verse 2:
FF               DmDm
Some years went by they had a child
              Bb majorBb
He was funny, strange, and mild
            C majorC   FF
Their love for him ran deep
                    DmDm
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
        Bb majorBb           C majorC
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep

Pre-Chorus:
DmDm              FF
One night he couldn't get to bed
            Bb majorBb
So she kneeled on both knees
           C majorC
And this is what she said:

Chorus:
 FF      Bb majorBb
I may not be wise
  FF    Bb majorBb    DmDm
But I won't save the day
  FF     Bb majorBb
But look in my eyes
  FF     Bb majorBb   DmDm
And know I'll always stay
  BbmBbm     FF
And I won't run away
BbmBbm     FF  DmDm  Bb majorBb  C majorC
I won't run away

Verse 3:
FF             DmDm
You say it's safer on your own
          Bb majorBb
You'd rather sleep alone
           C majorC
Then grow to need me there
FF           DmDm
But I hope now you can see
              Bb majorBb
What my mom and dad showed me
       C majorC
I'm not going anywhere

Pre-Chorus:
DmDm              FF
I love you more and more each day
         Bb majorBb
To love is not to leave
         C majorC
So hear me when I say:

Chorus:
 FF      Bb majorBb
I may not be wise
  FF    Bb majorBb    DmDm
But I won't save the day
  FF     Bb majorBb
But look in my eyes
  FF     Bb majorBb   DmDm
And know I'll always stay
  BbmBbm     FF  DmDm  Bb majorBb  C majorC  FF  DmDm  Bb majorBb
And I won't run away
BbmBbm     FF
I won't run away
