Verse 1

    G                                C
I remember weâ??d leave early, in the Carolina rain
G                                      C
Go catchinâ?? frogs and fishinâ?? off the peer
          D           D7                                    G   C  G   C
That was back in â??67; havenâ??t thought about those days in years
       G                    
And I must have been a sight to see, with a dirty face and skinned up knees
                                  C
Reachinâ?? up so I could hold your hand
   D                                    D7                               G   C   G   C
I wish Iâ??d said I love you then, but I didnâ??t know just how to tell you dad
    G 
I remember goinâ?? through my teens in tennis shoes and faded jeans
                              C
Thinkinâ?? you could never understand
           D                     D7                                 G   C   G
Wish Iâ??d known what I was missinâ?? when I didnâ??t wanna listen to you dad


Chorus:

         Bm          C                 G
And the pages of my life just keep on turninâ??
    Bm              C                 G
The way you always told me they would do
         Bm              C                   G
Thereâ??s lessons in this life that Iâ??m still learninâ??
       Am    G/B    C                D
Oh, I wish I was a little more like you


Verse 2:

            G                                 C
Well I was just now thinkinâ?? â??bout you; so I took this time to write
G                                  C
Write me back or call me when you can
D                               D7                                         G   C   G
Things back here are goinâ?? well; thereâ??s really not much more to tell you dad
D                          D7                                     G   C   G   C   G   C
I just wanted you to know, that youâ??re the best friend Iâ??ve ever had
