One
night I fell
C
G
in love with a little girl
C
D
G
And I gave her my whole world
And I knew right then I'd
C
G
never get it back
C
D
G
C
G
And I wondered how I fell for that
C
Five months later with tears
G
in both her eyes
C
D
G
She handed me those two pink lines
C
G
The only test in my whole life I didn't fail
C
I told her we'd be fine,
D
G
but I was scared as hell
C
G
Ooohhh, my love,
C
G
I hope it doesn't show
C
G
But I'm scared to death of drowning
C
G
In these things that I don't know
C
G
Ooohhh, my love,
C
G
I hope you'll understand
C
G
The truth is I'm a boy,
D
G
C
G
C
who's tryin to be a man
D
G
C
I got a hand me down gold ring
G
to make it right
C
D
And I could feel you kick when the judge
G
said "Kiss the bride"
But your momma and me we
C
G
walked out hand in hand
C
D
Soon, three against the world
G
We'd make a stand
But on the day that you were born
C
G
She got called home
C
D
And it's the darkest thing my heart
G
has ever known The Dr.
Said "I'm sorry"
C
G
And handed you to me
C
I looked in your blue eyes
D
and couldn't even speak
G
C
G
To tell you "Oh, my son,
C
G
I hope it doesn't show,
C
But I'm scared to death of
G
drowning
C
G
In these things that I don't know.
C
Whoa, my son,
G
C
G
I hope you'll understand
C
G
The truth is I'm a boy,
D
G
just tryin to be a man.
C
G
Oh your daddy's just a boy,
D
who's trying to be a man...
