[Verse 1]
F Dm
They met at school, that's how it goes
Bb
Some drinks and then a rose
C F
Then plans to meet again
Dm
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose
Bb
She knew that he'd propose
C
She only wondered when
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
One night before they went to bed
Bb
He kneeled on both knees
C
And this is what he said:
[Chorus]
F Bb
I may not be wise
F Bb Dm
But I won't save the day
F Bb
But look in my eyes
F Bb Dm
And know I'll always stay
Bbm F
And I won't run away
Bbm F
I won't run away
[Verse 2]
F Dm
Some years went by they had a child
Bb
He was funny, strange, and mild
C F
Their love for him ran deep
Dm
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
Bb C
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
One night he couldn't get to bed
Bb
So she kneeled on both knees
C
And this is what she said:
[Chorus]
F Bb
I may not be wise
F Bb Dm
But I won't save the day
F Bb
But look in my eyes
F Bb Dm
And know I'll always stay
Bbm F
And I won't run away
Bbm F Dm Bb C
I won't run away
[Verse 3]
F Dm
You say it's safer on your own
Bb
You'd rather sleep alone
C
Then grow to need me there
F Dm
But I hope now you can see
Bb
What my mom and dad showed me
C
I'm not going anywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
I love you more and more each day
Bb
To love is not to leave
C
So hear me when I say:
[Chorus]
F Bb
I may not be wise
F Bb Dm
But I won't save the day
F Bb
But look in my eyes
F Bb Dm
And know I'll always stay
Bbm F Dm Bb C F Dm Bb
And I won't run away
Bbm F
I won't run away
