  Now May  and I were two  children just swimming  in a pool
  We'd ride  on rockets, swing-sets  and we tried  to touch the moon
  And  I will never forget  the first time  she touched my hand
  I knew this  could be the one  who would make me  an honest man
 She was like  the way she was
 She was like  the way she was
  Now we  got older faster  than we ever  could have seen
  Lights  went down on graduation  then on  a wedding ring
  We  bought our first house  and had a baby  on the way
  But during birth  I got my daughter
  Jesus took  away my May
  And I  didn't know how to say  what I felt
  No, I  didn't know how to say  what it felt  like
  She  was just like she was
  When you looked  into her eyes you'd come undone
  She  was just like she was
  She could love you on your worst  day
  And didn't care about the mistakes
  She was like  she was
  Now baby  girl love daddy  most
  But they  need a mother's care
  I tried  my best to raise  her right
  I just couldn't  braid her hair
  One  day she got old  enough to have  her wedding day
  But as  I walked her down  the aisle
  All I could  see was my May
  And I  didn't know how to say  what I felt
  No I  didn't know how to say  what it felt  like
  She  was just like she was
  When you looked  into her eyes you'd come undone
  She  was just like she was
  She could love you on your worst  day
  And didn't care about the mistakes
  She was like  she was
  But May  I hope  you can see what I  see
  Cause when they talk about our baby  girl they think  of you
  And they say  to me
  She's  just like she was
  When I looked  into her eyes I'd see the sun
  She  was just like she was
  She could love you on your worst  day
  And doesn't care about the mistakes
  She was like  she was
 She was just like she  was
  When I looked  into her eyes I'd come undone
  She  was just like she was
  And I cannot feel my heart  beat
  Without the thought of her inside  me
  She was like  she was

[G]:    320033 or 320003

 Now [Bm]May and I were t[A]wo children just sw[G]imming in a po[D]ol
 We'd r[Bm]ide on rockets, sw[A]ing-sets and we tr[G]ied to touch the mo[D]on
 And[Bm] I will never f[A]orget the first t[G]ime she touched my ha[D]nd
 I knew t[Bm]his could be the o[A]ne who would make m[G]e an honest m[D]an

[G] She was l[A]ike the way she w[Bm]as
[G] She was l[A]ike the way she w[D]as

 Now [Bm]we got older f[A]aster than we [G]ever could have s[D]een
 L[Bm]ights went down on gr[A]aduation then o[G]n a wedding r[D]ing
 [Bm]We bought our first h[A]ouse and had a b[G]aby on the w[D]ay
 But during b[Bm]irth I got my d[A]aughter
 Jesus to[G]ok away my M[D]ay

 And [A]I didn't know how to s[Bm]ay what I f[G]elt
 No, [A]I didn't know how to s[Bm]ay what it f[G]elt like

 S[D]he was just like she w[A]as
 When you l[Bm]ooked into her eyes you'd come und[G]one
 S[D]he was just like she w[A]as
 She could love you on your w[Bm]orst day
 And didn't care about the m[G]istakes
 She was l[A]ike she w[D]as

 Now b[Bm]aby girl love d[A]addy most
 But th[G]ey need a mother's c[D]are
 I tr[Bm]ied my best to ra[A]ise her right
 I just co[G]uldn't braid her h[D]air
 [Bm]One day she got o[A]ld enough to h[G]ave her wedding d[D]ay
 But [Bm]as I walked her do[A]wn the aisle
 All I co[G]uld see was my M[D]ay

 And [A]I didn't know how to s[Bm]ay what I f[G]elt
 No [A]I didn't know how to s[Bm]ay what it f[G]elt like

 S[D]he was just like she w[A]as
 When you l[Bm]ooked into her eyes you'd come und[G]one
 S[D]he was just like she w[A]as
 She could love you on your w[Bm]orst day
 And didn't care about the m[G]istakes
 She was l[A]ike she w[D]as

 But M[Em]ay I ho[A]pe you can see what [Bm]I see  [G]
 Cause when they talk about our b[Em]aby girl they th[A]ink of you
 And they s[Bm]ay to me  [G]

 S[D]he's just like she w[A]as
 When I l[Bm]ooked into her eyes I'd see the s[G]un
 S[D]he was just like she w[A]as
 She could love you on your w[Bm]orst day
 And doesn't care about the m[G]istakes
 She was l[A]ike she w[D]as

[D] She was just like she[A] was
 When I l[Bm]ooked into her eyes I'd come und[G]one
 S[D]he was just like she w[A]as
 And I cannot feel my h[Bm]eart beat
 Without the thought of her ins[G]ide me
 She was l[A]ike she w[D]as
