[Intro]
A
[Verse]
A E F#m Dm
First thing I remember was asking papa, why,
A F A
For there were many things I didn't know.
E
And daddy always smiled
F#m D
and took me by the hand,
A E A
Saying, someday you'll understand.
[Chorus]
E
Well, I'm here to tell you now,
A
each and every mother's son,
E
That you better learn it fast,
A
you better learn it young,
Bm D A
'Cause someday never comes.
[Verse]
A E
Well, time and tears went by,
F#m Dm
and I collected dust.
A F A
For there were many things I didn't know.
E
When daddy went away, he said,
F#m D
try to be a man,
A E A
And someday you'll understand.
[Chorus]
E
Well, I'm here to tell you now,
A
each and every mother's son,
E
That you better learn it fast,
A
you better learn it young,
Bm D A
'Cause someday never comes.
[Verse]
A E
And then one day in April,
F#m Dm
I wasn't even there,
A F A
For there were many things I didn't know.
E F#m D
A son was born to me. Mama held his hand,
A E A
Sayin' someday you'll understand.
[Chorus]
E
Well, I'm here to tell you now,
A
each and every mother's son,
E
That you better learn it fast,
A
you better learn it young,
Bm D A
'Cause someday never comes.
Bm D A F
Oooh, someday never comes.

tryin' to be a man,

I said, someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now,

Oooh, someday never comes.
