Terrible Things Acoustic

terrible things - mayday parade . tabbed by : cassieizyay@yahoo . com so , i’ve been playing it like this since i first heard the song . substitutions for am9’s are am’s . i found am’s a bit easier to play . standard tuning eadgbe * capo 1st fret * C - x32010 Am - 002210 F - 133211 G - 320003 __________________________________________________________________________ Intro C , Am , F , G C Am by the time i was your age i’d give anything to fall in love truly F was all i could think , that’s when i met your mother the girl of my dreams , G the most beautiful woman that i’d ever seen . C she said boy can i tell you a wonderful thing? Am "i can’t help but notice you staring at me , F i know i shouldn’t say this , but i really believe , G i can tell by your eyes that you’re in love with me . " Chorus : F G Am Am9 F G now son , i’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things . the rest is the same progression . now most of the time we’d have too much to drink and we’d laugh at the stars and share everything . too young to notice and too dumb to care , love was a story that couldn’t compare . i said girl can i tell you a wonderful thing? "i made you a present with paper and string , open with care now , i’m asking you please , you know that i love you , will you marry me?" now son i’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things you’ll learn one day , and i hope and i pray that god shows you differently . she said boy can i tell you a terrible thing? "it seems that i’m sick and i’ve only got weeks . please dont be sad now , i really believe , you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me . " slow , so slow , i fell to the ground on my knees . so don’t fall in love there’s just too much to lose if you’re given the choice , i’m begging you choose to walk away , walk away , don’t let it get you , i can’t bare to see the same happen to you . now son , i’m only telling you this , because life can do terrible things .
