Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[Bm][G][Am][F]
[Am]
I met you at the [Dm]age of

[Verse 1]
[Am]21
Lookin so fine like a young ripe plum
I was the gardener, [Dm]you were the n[Am]un
I was maverick, you were the girl on top gun
I [Bm]pur sued you with young
freshman eyes
[Bdim]Stomach [F]too small for what
the eyes real[Am]ized
Thought I can handle it,
I took you by the hand
And I asked you to marry me,
I knelt on the sand
You said yes, never a second guess
Wait a few years to have
babies was the plan
[Bm]Made my dream's hope,
got a [G]8 to [F]4
Workin' as a stock clerk [Dm]at Nabisco
But I loved [Am]you, I put you first above all
Raised you high,
so that you would never fall
We got more close sexually,
daily, slipped up
And got you pregnant with a baby
Up[Bdim]set your[Bm] parents[Bdim],
[Bm]didn't [Bdim]tell mine
[G]I tol[F]d you it would be okay in time
I [Am]looked

[Verse 2]
in your eyes, pretend to grin
Said that I love you and
your my best friend
Told you to trust me until the end
'Til death do us part, that was the start
But I'm [Bdim]leav ing,
(I told you I would never lie)
I'm sorry [F]but I'm leaving,
(But I'm not that type of guy)
I'm sorry my [Am]dear...

[Verse 3]
I had to have a meeting [Am]with your dad
I was very nervous, he was very sad
You were going joggin, I was [Dm]very glad
[Am]I knew what I did and
I knew what I had
[Bdim]It was your attention,
[Bm]I had time to [Bdim]stall
[G]I tol[F]d him I'd get a second
job at the [Am]mall
He said okay but filled with disbe[Dm]lief
[Am]I said good- bye, filled with relief
Cuz I knew I didn't want to,
knew I didn't [Dm]plan [Am]this
Knew I had to give all of my
goals just to stand this
An[Bm]d that really sucked, I was so [Bdim]young
[F]All I ever wanted was to rap and have fun
[Am]Now I had to work,
then I [Dm]really thought about it
[Am]Did I [F]really h[Dm]ave to? Or would
he [F]have [Dm]thought about [Am]it?
I thought I had to [Dm]do it for myself
[Am]It was my life,
it belonged to no one else
[Bm]So I planned to leave a
thief in the night
[G]Disap[F]pear with a trace,
let them know I felt like
I [Am]looked

[Verse 4]
in your eyes, pretend to grin
Said that I love you and
your my best friend
Told you to trust me until the end
'Til death do us part, that was the start
But [G]I'm [Bdim]leaving,
(I told you I would never lie)
I'm sorry [G]but I'm [F]leaving,
(But I'm not that type of guy)
I'm sorry my [Am]dear...

[Verse 5]
Four years past,
I'm still spending my wills
Still making demos,
looking for a record deal
You found my act,
was bumped into my friend
Sent me a letter told me silence had to end
[Bm]You had a daughter, named her Emily
[G]And e[F]verytime she looked
at you felt like me
[Am]She was asking questions,
"Where is my dad?
And what did he do mommy
to make you so mad?"
You said I had to come
and finally meet my girl
I said that I would if, only I could
[Bdim]Showed up at the door [Bm]it
was answered by [Bdim]her
[F]I knew by her eyes that I was her fat[Am]her
I knelt to your level, said,
"Who are you?"
You said, "Emily", I said,
"How cute"
I walked you in, holding your hand
You showed me your bedroom,
I took us slow and
You [Bm]said "Daddy, where have you [Bdim]been?
[F]I hope you never ever
have to leave again"
[Dm]I looked

[Verse 6]
[Am]in your eyes, pretend to grin
Said that I love you and
your my best friend
Told you to trust me until the end
'Til death do us part, that was the start
But [G]I'm [Bdim]leaving
I'm sorry [F]but I'm leaving
I'm sorry my [Am]dear...
