Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][G]
[A][G][A]

[Verse 1]
I thought [A]that my
first love [G]would be my wife
[A]But in junior high
She moved away from [G]here[A]
And I thought Johnny'd always
be my be[G]st friend
I haven't [A]talked to him
In fifteen [G]years

[Verse 2]
[A]Back when I had those fights with my old [G]man
I [D]never thought that he'd be an old man

[Verse 3]
And I [A]didn't know all those [G]years ago
How [D]the years would go
Flyin' [G]by
Thought I [A]knew it all but [G]I was wrong
And I [D]didn't know
I didn't [G]know it at the time
[A][G][A]

[Verse 4]
I never thought good jobs
were hard [G]to find
'Till I [A]let my pride cost [G]me one
I [A]never thought my whole
life [G]would change
'Till I heard the doctor [A]say I had [G]a son

[Verse 5]
I [A]never really thought that I was [G]lost
Un[D]til I heard my dyin' mother
Sing 'Old Rugged Cross'

[Verse 6]
And I [A]didn't know
All those [G]years ago
How the [D]years would go
Flyin' [G]by
Thought I [A]knew it all but [G]I was wrong
And I [D]didn't know
I didn't [G]know it at the time
[A][G][D]

[Verse 7]
[G]
Oh, I thought I [A]knew it all
Oh, but [G]I was wrong
And I [D]didn't know
[G]I didn't know it at the t[A]ime
I [G]didn't know, didn't know, didn't know
[A]I didn't know
Oh, [G]I didn't k[A]now, ohwww
