[Intro] C  F

C                                   F
I thought my first love would be my wife
C                                   F
But in junior high she moved away from here
C                                   F
I thought John would always be my best friend
C                                   F
I haven't talked to him in fifteen years
C                                   F
Back when I had those fights with my old man
Am               G         F
I never thought he'd be an old man
 
C                      F
And I didn't know all those years ago
Dm                            Bb
How the years would go flying by
C                      F
Thought I knew it all, but I was wrong
Dm                            Bb           C
And I didn't know, I didn't know it at the time
 
C                                      F
I never thought good jobs were hard to find
C                            F
Until I let my pride cost me one
C                                   F
I never thought that my whole life could change
C                                     F
Until I heard the doctor say I lost my daughter
C                             F
I never even knew that I was lost
Am               G               F
Until I laid there, heart beating outside my chest and oh
 
C                      F
And I didn't know all those years ago
Dm                            Bb
How the years would go flying by
C                      F
Thought I knew it all, but I was wrong
Dm                            Bb           C
And I didn't know, I didn't know it at the time
