 Now May and I were two children just swimming in a pool
       Am                F                 F                  C
 We'd ride on rockets, swing-sets and we tried to touch the moon
    Am             F                F                    C
 And I will never forget the first time she touched my hand
         Am                F                  F            C    
 I knew this could be the one who would make me an honest man

F         F                Am 
 She was like the way she was
F         F                C
 She was like the way she was

     Am            F             F                C
 Now we got older faster than we ever could have seen
  Am                   F              F            C
 Lights went down on graduation then on a wedding ring
 Am                   F               F           C
 We bought our first house and had a baby on the way
             Am             F
 But during birth I got my daughter
         F           C
 Jesus took away my May

     F                     Am         F
 And I didn't know how to say what I felt
     F                     Am          F
 No, I didn't know how to say what it felt like


  C                     F
 She was just like she was
           Am                                F
 When you looked into her eyes you'd come undone
  C                     F
 She was just like she was
                             Am
 She could love you on your worst day
                            F
 And didn't care about the mistakes
          F        C
 She was like she was

 
      Am             F
 Now baby girl love daddy most
       F                   C
 But they need a mother's care
     Am               F
 I tried my best to raise her right
          F                 C
 I just couldn't braid her hair
 Am               F             F                C
 One day she got old enough to have her wedding day
     Am                F
 But as I walked her down the aisle
         F               C
 All I could see was my May

     F                     Am         F
 And I didn't know how to say what I felt
    F                     Am          F
 No I didn't know how to say what it felt like

  C                     F
 She was just like she was
                             Am
 She could love you on your worst day
                            F
 And didn't care about the mistakes
          F        C
 She was like she was


      Dm     F                   Am     F
 But May I hope you can see what I see
                                 Dm              F
 Cause when they talk about our baby girl they think of you
           Am       (F)
 And they say to me

 
  C                   F
 She's just like she was
         Am                               F
 When I looked into her eyes I'd see the sun
  C                     F
 She was just like she was
                             Am

 And I cannot feel my heart beat
                               F
 Without the thought of her inside me
          F        C
 She was like she was
