C -first Riff- Am
By the time I was your age I’d give anything to fall in love truly
F -second Riff-
was all I could think, that’s when I met your mother the girl of my dreams,
G -third Riff-
the most beautiful woman that I’d ever seen.
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, but I really believe,
G
I can tell by your eyes that you’re in love with me.”
FGAmFG
Now son, I’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
C
Now most of the time we’d have too much to drink
Am
and we’d laugh at the stars and share everything.
F
Too young to notice and too dumb to care,
G
love was a story that couldn’t compare.
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?”
FGAmFG
Now son, I’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
FGAmFG
You’ll learn one day, and I hope and I pray that God shows you differently.
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.”
FGAm
Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees.
C
So don’t fall in love there’s just too much to lose
Am
if you’re given the choice, I’m begging you choose to
F
walk away, walk away,
G
don’t let it get you, I can’t bare to see the same happen to you.
FGAmFG
Now son, I’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.

Mayday Parade was born in 2005 when two popular Tallahassee bands, Kid Named Chicago and Defining Moment, decided to merge and form one group. Both bands had been friends for a long time but they each seemed to have different kind of holdups. They pooled their resources, booted out the undedicated members and decided to take the good from each band and move forward. Armed with a dynamic lead singer Derek Sanders of Defining Moment, Mayday Parade explodes with energy and personality.
Thumb Position Check. For bar chords, place the thumb lower on the neck for leverage. For open chords, let it sit higher. Small thumb adjustments reduce hand strain and improve clarity immediately.
