Bm A G D
Now May and I were two children just swimming in a pool
Bm A G D
We'd ride on rockets, swing-sets and we tried to touch the moon
Bm A G D
And I will never forget the first time she touched my hand
Bm A G D
I knew this could be the one who would make me an honest man
G A Bm
She was like the way she was
G A D
She was like the way she was
Bm A G D
Now we got older faster than we ever could have seen
Bm A G D
Lights went down on graduation then on a wedding ring
Bm A G D
We bought our first house and had a baby on the way
Bm A
But during birth I got my daughter
G D
Jesus took away my May
A Bm G
And I didn't know how to say what I felt
A Bm G
No, I didn't know how to say what it felt like
D A
She was just like she was
Bm G
When you looked into her eyes you'd come undone
D A
She was just like she was
Bm
She could love you on your worst day
G
And didn't care about the mistakes
A D
She was like she was

Bm A
Now baby girl love daddy most
G D
But they need a mother's care
Bm A
I tried my best to raise her right
G D
I just couldn't braid her hair
Bm A G D
One day she got old enough to have her wedding day
Bm A
But as I walked her down the aisle
G D
All I could see was my May
A Bm G
And I didn't know how to say what I felt
A Bm G
No I didn't know how to say what it felt like
D A
She was just like she was
Bm G
When you looked into her eyes you'd come undone
D A
She was just like she was
Bm
She could love you on your worst day
G
And didn't care about the mistakes
A D
She was like she was
Em A Bm G
But May I hope you can see what I see
Em A
Cause when they talk about our baby girl they think of you
Bm (G)
And they say to me
D A
She's just like she was
Bm G
When I looked into her eyes I'd see the sun
D A
She was just like she was
Bm
She could love you on your worst day
G
And doesn't care about the mistakes
A D
She was like she was
D A
She was just like she was
Bm G
When I looked into her eyes I'd come undone
D A
She was just like she was
Bm
And I cannot feel my heart beat
G
Without the thought of her inside me
A D
She was like she was
