Third Verse

        C#m/E         B

I've got three of my own now

                        B

Trying to raise them up right

             B

My oldest is fifteen

                             B

And I remember what that was like

Trying to figure out the questions in life

              C#m/E          B

And I’ve been looking for a way to show him

       C#m/E      B

How to make it alright

                     B

Then he walked in my room

                      C#m/E              B

While I was saying my prayers the other night

               C#m/E       B

He said, "I’ll come back later

                     C#m/E        B

I can tell you got a lot on your mind"

              C#m/E         B

I said, "It’s not an interruption

                  C#m/E            B

You couldn’t have picked a better time

                  C#m/E       B
