verse 1:
G Am7
Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
G Am7
I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways
G Am7
They'll trap you, then they use you Be-fore you even know
G Am7
For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show
G Am7 C
I wish that I knew all I know now When I was younger
G Am7 C
I wish that I knew all I know now When I was stronger.

verse 2:
G Am7
The Can Can's such a pretty show They'll steal your heart away
G Am7
But backstage, back on earth again The dressing rooms are great
G Am7
They come on strong and it ain't too long Before they make you feel a man
G Am7
But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again
Chorus
verse 3:
G Am7
When you want her lips, you get a cheek Makes you wonder where you are
G Am7
If you want some more and she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the stars.
G Am7
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
G Am7
You'll have to learn, just like me And that's the hardest way
