Tom: F
[Intro] F C/E Dm Am/C Bb F/A C
F C/E Dm
They met at school, that's how it goes
Am/C Bb
Some drinks and then a rose
F/A C
Then plans to meet again
F C/E Dm
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose
Am/C Bb
She knew that he'd propose
F/A C
She only wondered when
Dm C/E F
One night before they went to bed
Dm/A Bb
He kneeled on both knees
Dm/A C/G
And this is what he said:
F Bb
I may not be wise
C Dm C Bb
But I won't save the day
F Bb
But look in my eyes
C Dm C Bb
And know I'll always stay
Edim7 Bb F
And I won't run away
Edim7 Bb F C/E Dm Am/C Bb F/A C
I won't run away
F C/E Dm
Some years went by they had a child
Am/C Bb
He was funny, strange, and mild
F/A C
Their love for him ran deep
F C/E Dm
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
Am/C Bb F/A C
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep
Dm C/E F
One night he couldn't get to bed
Dm/A Bb
So she kneeled on both knees
Dm/A C/G
And this is what she said:
F Bb
I may not be wise
C Dm C Bb
But I won't save the day
F Bb
But look in my eyes
C Dm C Bb
And know I'll always stay
Edim7 Bb F
And I won't run away
Edim7 Bb F C/E Dm Am/C Bb F/A Dm/F C
I won't run away
F C/E Dm
You say it's safer on your own
Am/C Bb
You'd rather sleep alone
F/A C
Then grow to need me there
F C/E Dm
But I hope now you can see
Am/C Bb
What my mom and dad showed me
F/A C
I'm not going anywhere
Dm C/E F
I love you more and more each day
Dm/A Bb
To love is not to leave
Dm/A C/G
So hear me when I say:
F Bb
I may not be wise
C Dm C Bb
But I won't save the day
F Bb
But look in my eyes
C Dm C Bb
And know I'll always stay
Edim7 Bb F C/E Dm Am/C Bb F/A C
And I won't run away
