[Primera Parte]

G               F
 My son is almost three
           Em
He used to look just like his dad
              D#
But right now he looks just like me
Em                    C#m
  And as far as I can see
                    C
The fruit I bear is sweet
        G#                                G
But the apple's rolling real far from the tree
                     F
And falling down the hill
                           Em
So full of love and so carefree
         D#
I wonder if the world will treat him
    Em
Any better than it treated me
C#m                    C
   But papa, don't you preach
           G#
I tried to teach him every day
             G                                  F Em
That nothing good is free, but always should be

[Pre-Estribillo]

D#                      Am G
  And with my roots above
   C
And all my branches down below
Am G       C                      Am G
    Please tell my boy I love him so
       C                                      Am
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
       G      C
I just wantеd you to know

[Estribillo]

Em                     G
  That I believe in magic
                     C
And I bеlieve in sin

I still believe in Heaven
Am
If they'll never let me in
Em                        G
  I started to believe in love
                       C
The day I met my little twin
                            Am
I think I might start tryin'
               Em   G C Am
'Cause I haven't been

[Segunda Parte]

                   G
My Momma's getting old
              F
Well, it's contagious
                           Em
And you'll catch it like a cold
            D#
She won't admit it
                         Em
But it's something that I know
             C#m
'Cause every year that passes for me
      C                 G#
Passes her a hundredfold
            G
Back in the day, my dad and I
     F                              Em
Would share a laugh at all of her mistakes
          D#                              Em
But that alliance didn't save me from her fate
               C#m
No, it didn't, I'm still twenty-eight
         C
Became a single mom
                     G#
Just crushed under a rake
                   G
Of a child growing faster
                   F
Than I think I can take
                  Em
I love him anyway
        D#
And I remind myself a time will come
     G
When he sees me turn grey
F                     Em
 And realize it's too late
Like I did with my mother
D#                        Em   C#m C
  So now I tell it to his face

[Pre-Estribillo]

D#                      Am G
  And with my roots above
   C
And all my branches down below
Am G       C                      Am G
    Please tell my boy I love him so
       C                                      Am
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
       G      C
I just wantеd you to know

[Estribillo]

Em                     G
  That I believe in magic
                     C
And I bеlieve in sin

I still believe in Heaven

If they'll never let me in
Em                        G
  I started to believe in love
                       C
The day I met my little twin
                            Am

               Em   G C Am
'Cause I haven't been

Da-da-da-da-la-la

Da-da-da-da-la-la
Am           N.C
  I love him so
