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

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


Chorus:
C          G       C               G
Ooohhh, my love, I hope 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                G
Ooohhh, my love, I hope you'll understand
    C              G          D
The truth is I'm a boy, who's tryin to be a man


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


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


Chorus:
G            C      G      C               G
To tell you "Oh, my son, I hope 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                G
Whoa, my son, I hope you'll understand
    C              G         D
The truth is I'm a boy, just tryin to be a man.
        C              G          D              G
