[B] oh, Granddad,
[C#] I laughed at all his words.
[B] I thought he was a bitter man.
[C#] He spoke of [C#m] women's ways.
[B] They trap you, then they use you,
[C#] before you [G#m] even know.
[B] But love is blind, and you're far too kind.
[C#m] Hey boy, don't ever let it show.
Except [B] I wish that I knew what [C#m] I know now.
When I was younger.
[B] I wish that I knew what [C#m] I know now.
When I was stronger.
[B] The can-can's such a pretty [E] show.
It will [C#m] steal your heart away.
[B] But backstage, back on earth again, [C#] all them dressing [F#] rooms are [C#m] gray.
[B] They come on strong, and it ain't too long [C#m] before they make you feel a man.
[B] But love is blind, and you soon will find [C#m] you are just a boy again.
Except [B] I wish that I knew what [C#m] I know now.
When I was younger.

When I was stronger.

[C#] Makes you wonder where you are.
[E] And [B] if you want some more, and she's fast asleep, [A] leaves you [E] twinkling with the [B] stars.
I said, poor young grandson.
[C#m] There's nothing I can say.
[E] [B]
You have to learn it just like me.
[C#m] And that's the hardest way.
