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

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


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


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

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


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