Verse 1:
G5                 E5
I was 18, workin' minimum wage

With a letterman jacket and a chevrolet
          G5         E5        C5                D5
I thought I was cool, yeah, I ruled the school
G5                           E5
You were cum laude with the strawberry lips
            C5                           D5
You had the whole world danglin' at your finger tips
     G5           E5              C5                 D5
Your senior year, and I was your Daddy's worst fear
D5                    A5
 We ran off on graduation night
D5                                             A5                      
 We thought a couple of left hand rings would make everything all right

Chorus:
       G5                         E5
With a little bit of live, little bit of learn
              C5                   D5
Little bit of watching a few more candles burn, and
G5       E5            C5       D5
Finding out what life was      ooh
       G5                         E5
With a little bit of fuss, little bit of fight
              C5               D5
Little bit of kiss and makin' up all night, and
G5       E5     A5      D5             G5 (repeat intro)
One day wakin' up,      oh, in a real love

I was 22, working double overtime,

I was spending dollars and making dimes
G5       E5             C5              D5
We were overdrawn, and barely hanging on
G5                  E5 
Then one night you came to me
     C5                             D5
With tears in your eyes and an EPT and said
G5             E5          C5           D5
"Guess what...yeah, baby, ready or not"
       D5                 A5
I just smiled, but I was scared to death
D5                                          A5
How am I gonna have a kid when I'm still a kid myself?
