Mayday Parade - Terrible things

By the ^Ctime I was your age I’d give anything To ^Amfall in love truly was all I could think That’s when ^FI met your mother the girl of my dreams, The most ^Gbeautiful woman that I’d ever seen. She said “^Cboy can I tell you a wonderful thing? I ^Amcan’t help but notice you staring at me, I ^Fknow I shouldn’t say this, but I really believe, I can ^Gtell by your eyes that you’re in love with me.”

Now ^Fson, I’m ^Gonly ^E/G#telling you ^Amthis bec^Gause l^Fife can do t^Gerrible thing^Cs. ^{Am F G}

Now ^Cmost of the time we’d have too much to drink And we’d ^Amlaugh at the stars and share everything. ^FToo young to notice and too dumb to care, ^GLove was a story that couldn’t compare. I said “^Cgirl can I tell you a wonderful thing? I ^Ammade you a present with paper and string, ^FOpen with care now, I’m asking you please, You ^Gknow that I love you, will you marry me?”

Now ^Fson, I’m ^Gonly ^E/G#telling you ^Amthis bec^Gause ^Flife can do ^Gterrible things. You’ll ^Flearn one ^Gday, and ^E/G#I hope and I ^Ampray th^Gat G^Fod shows you d^Gifferently.

She said, “^CBoy can I tell you a terrible thing? It s^Ameems that I’m sick and I’ve only got weeks. ^FPlease don’t be sad now, I really believe, ^GYou were the greatest thing that ever happened to me.”

^CSlow, so ^Amslow, I fell to the^F ground on my^G knees. So ^Cdon’t fall in love there’s just too much to lose If you’re ^Amgiven the choice, I’m begging you choose To ^Fwalk away, walk away, don’t let it get you, I c^Gan’t bare to see the same happen to you.

Now ^Fson, I’m ^Gonly ^E/G#telling you ^Amthis bec^Gause ^Flife can do ^Gterrible thi^Cngs.
