Verse 1
[D]Poor old Granddad, I [Em7]laughed at all his words
I [D]thought he was a bitter man He [Em7]spoke of women's ways
They'll [D]trap you, then they use you Be[Em7]Before you even know
For [D]love is blind and you're far too kind Don't [Em7]ever let it show

I [D]wish that I knew what I know [Em7]now [G]When I was younger
I [D]wish that I knew what I know [Em7]now [G]When I was stronger.
Verse 2
The [D]Can Can's, such a pretty show They'll [Em7]steal your heart away
But [D]backstage, back on earth again The [Em7]dressing rooms are grey
They [D]come on strong and it ain't too long Before they [Em7]make you feel a man
But [D]love is blind and you soon will find You're [Em7]just a boy again

When you [D]want her lips, you get a cheek Makes you [Em7]wonder where you are
If you [D]want some more and she's fast asleep Leaves you [Em7]twinkling with the stars
[D]Poor young grandson, there's [Em7]nothing I can say
You'll [D]have to learn, just like me And [Em7]that's the hardest way
