Verse 1:
        C
By the time I was your age I've give anything
    Am
To fall in love truly was all I could think
            F
That's when I met your Mother, the girl of my dreams
          G
The most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen

Verse 2:        
            C
She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
    Am
I can't help but notice you staring at me
   F
I know I shouldn't say this
                                 G
But I really believe that I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me"

Chorus:
    Am       G    C
Now son, I'm only telling you this because
F            G           C
Life, can do terrible things

Verse 3:
     C
Now most of the time we'd have too much to drink
       Am
We'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
F    
Too young to notice and too dumb to care
G
Love was a story that couldn't compare

Verse 4:
          C
I said, "Girl can I tell you a wonderful thing
   Am
I made you a present with paper and string
F
Open with care, now I'm asking you please
G
You know that I love you, will you marry me?"

Chorus:
     Am      G    C
Now son, I'm only telling you this because
F            G        F
Life, can do terrible things
        Am
You'll learn one day, I hope and I pray
      F
That God, shows you differently

Verse 5:
            C
She said, "Boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
    Am
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks
F
Please don't be sad now, I really believe
             G
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."

Bridge:
C        Am                    F           Am
Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees

Verse 6:
   C
So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose
   Am
If given the choice then I beg you to choose
   F
To walk away, walk away
Don't let her get you
G
I can't bare to see the same thing happen to you

Chorus:
    Am       G    C
Now son, I'm only telling you this because
F            G              C
