^GOne night I fell in ^Clove with a little ^Ggirl And I ^Cgave her ^Dmy whole ^Gworld ^GAnd I knew right then I'd ^Cnever get it ^Gback And I ^Cwondered how I ^Dfell for ^Gthat

^GFive months later with ^Ctears in both her ^Geyes She ^Chanded me those ^Dtwo pink ^Glines ^GThe only test in my ^Cwhole life I didn't ^Gfail I ^Ctold her we'd be ^Dfine, but I was scared as ^Ghell

^COoohhh, my ^Glove, I ^Chope it doesn't ^Gshow ^CBut I'm ^Gscared to ^Cdeath of ^Gdrowning ^CIn these ^Gthings that ^CI don't ^Gknow ^COoohhh, my ^Glove, I ^Chope you'll under^Gstand The ^Ctruth is I'm a ^Gboy, who's ^Dtryin to be a man

^GI got a hand me down gold ^Cring to make it ^Gright And I could ^Cfeel you kick when the ^Djudge said "Kiss the ^Gbride" ^GBut your momma and me we walked ^Cout hand in ^Ghand Soon, ^Cthree against the ^Dworld, we'd make a ^Gstand

^GBut on the day that you were ^Cborn she got called ^Ghome And it's the ^Cdarkest thing my ^Dheart has ever ^Gknown ^GThe doctor said "I'm sorry"^C And handed you to ^Gme I ^Clooked in your blue ^Deyes and couldn't even ^Gspeak
