I met you at the age of

Verse 1
Am 
21
Lookin so fine like a young ripe plum
Dm 
Am 
I was the gardener, you were the nun
I was maverick, you were the girl on top gun
Bm 
I pursued you with young
freshman eyes
Bdim 
F 
Stomach too small for what
Am 
the eyes realized
Thought I can handle it,
I took you by the hand
And I asked you to marry me,
I knelt on the sand
You said yes, never a second guess
Wait a few years to have
babies was the plan
Bm 
Made my dream's hope,
G 
F 
got a 8 to 4
Dm 
Workin' as a stock clerk at Nabisco
Am 
But I loved you, I put you first above all
Raised you high,
so that you would never fall
We got more close sexually,
daily, slipped up
And got you pregnant with a baby

Verse 2
in your eyes, pretend to grin
Said that I love you and
your my best friend
Told you to trust me until the end
'Til death do us part, that was the start
Bdim 
But I'm leaving,
(I told you I would never lie)
F 
I'm sorry but I'm leaving,
(But I'm not that type of guy)
Am 
I'm sorry my dear...

Verse 3
Am 
I had to have a meeting with your dad
I was very nervous, he was very sad
Dm 
You were going joggin, I was very glad
Am 
I knew what I did and
I knew what I had
Bdim 
It     was your attention,
Bm 
Bdim 
I   had time to     stall
G 
F 
I told him I'd get a second
Am 
job at the mall
Dm 
He said okay but filled with disbelief
Am 
I said good- bye, filled with relief
Cuz I knew I didn't want to,
Dm 
Am 
knew I didn't plan this
Knew I had to give all of my
goals just to stand this
Bm 
Bdim 
And that really sucked, I was so young
F 
All I ever wanted was to rap and have fun
Am 
Now I had to work,
Dm 
then I really thought about it
Am 
F 
Dm 
Did I really have to? Or would
F 
Dm 
Am 
he have thought about it?
Dm 
I thought I had to do  it for myself
Am 
It was my life,
it belonged to no one else
Bm 
So  I planned to leave a
thief in the night
G 
F 
Disappear with a trace,
let them know I felt like
Am 
I looked

Verse 5
Four years past,
I'm still spending my wills
Still making demos,
looking for a record deal
You found my act,
was bumped into my friend
Sent me a letter told me silence had to end
Bm 
You had a daughter, named her Emily
G 
F 
And everytime she looked
at you felt like me
Am 
She was asking questions,
"Where is my dad?
And what did he do mommy
to make you so mad?"
You said I had to come
and finally meet my girl
I said that I would if, only I could
Bdim 
Bm 
Showed up at the door it
Bdim 
was answered by her
F 
Am 
I knew by her eyes that I was her father
I knelt to your level, said,
"Who are you?"
You said, "Emily", I said,
"How cute"
I walked you in, holding your hand
You showed me your bedroom,
I took us slow and
Bm 
Bdim 
You said "Daddy, where have you been?
F 
I hope you never ever
have to leave again"
Dm 
I looked
