I [G] didn't [D] know [A] my fate.

[A] Playing

The [D/A] game of love, but never really [A] showing

The [G] thought that [D] love was [A] great.

[E] I was a young man and [D] sure to go [A] astray.

way [E]

To keep on [A] growing, [D] keep on [A] growing, [D] keep on [A] growing. [D]

I was [A] standing,

[D/A] Looking in the face of one who [A] loved me,

[G] Feeling [D] so [A] ashamed.

[A] Hoping,

And [D/A] praying, Lord, that she could under[A]stand me,

But I [G] didn't [D] know her [A] name.

[E] She took my hand in hers and [D] told me I was [A] wrong.

[E] She said, you're gonna be all right boy, [D] oh just as [F#m] long [E]

As you keep on [A] growing, [D] keep on [A] growing, [D] keep on [A]

growing. [D]

To[D/A]gether hand in hand along the [A] way, love.

[G] Hope it's [D] still [A] me.
