You fell
A

in love across a backyard fence

You read your books behind closed doors

You lived and loved with some regrets

I  do it all again, she said
Em 
And as I turned around to go
G 
A 
D 
I  heard her singing sweet and low
A 
G 
Oh, oh, oh, oh
D 
I don't wanna leave this earth
A 
G 
Oh boy, oh boy
D 
A

G 
They played the game, they played to win
D 
A

We watched the game become a war
D

And  now he's fighting hard,
G 
he fights to live
D 
A 
G 
And now they're beating down his door
Em

A 
I wanna see my son go

With all the endless summer days
Em 
Watching winter while it fades
D 
Autumn sunlight through the trees
Bm 
The scent of springtime on the breeze

It's real life that sets you free
A 
D 
A 
G 
D 
A 
G 
D 
Can I take it all with me?
Em 
D 
Watchin' babies while they sleep
Em 
Chasin' fireflies through the streets
D 
Sleepin' under star -filled skies
Bm 
That moment real love arrives
G 
It's not as if I didn't know
A 
D 
A 
G 
D 
A 
G 
That I have to let you go
D 
A

Now I was born with a  broken heart
D 
A 
G 
It's not a pretty way to start
D 
A 
And  deep down inside
G 
I always knew one thing,
D 
A 
G 
beautiful joy my life would be.
Em 
And when it's my time to go,
G 
A

you hear me singing sweet and low.
