If you don't get in the water, you're never gonna learn to sw[C9]im
[G]
He said a snake is just as scared of you as you are of it. [C9]
[Em] [D]
He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite,
Seems there was nothing tha[G]t he didn't know,[G/B] [C9]
[D] [G]
and as a kid I believed, 'cause Grandpa told me so.
Verse 2:
(Chords same as above.)
He talked Daddy into letting me have my first car.
I thought I was really something til Becky Thompson broke my heart.
That first tast of love really did me in,
Getting over her slow,
And I knew someday I would, 'cause Grandpa told me so.
Chorus:
He said, life[C] is made for you to live, [G]
the best love[D] is the love that you give.[G]
[C] [D]
There'll be times when [Em]you wanna hold on but you gotta let go.
And I liv[C]e by those words, cause Grandpa told me[D] so.[G]
Verse 3:
I promised him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to leave.
That's the only promise I made him I couldn't keep.
He smiled from his bed and said we'll meet again,
somewhere down the road.
And I believe, cause Grandpa told me so.
Repeat Chorus 2 x
Yeah and I still [C]believe, Grandpa[D] told me so.[G] [C9]
Grandpa told me so.[G]
I still believe.[C9]
