C                              F     G
I never practiced piano when I was a boy
      F                                    C
And I still ain't working to perfect guitar
  Am            G                 F              C
I never read my lesson books like others did the way they looked
   Am                                 G
In study halls while I mapped out the stars
F                            C
Sometimes I forget to do the things that others do
Am           C             G
Take as it's handed like a hopeful kid in June
   F                            C
So sometimes I retracted to the howling wind and moon
      Am                   G                        C
But I learned out there, I learned a thing or two

  C             G                F  C
I only know the bills I owe when overdue
      F                                      C
And I swear the lost-and-found has my estate
     Am              G
When Uncle Sam asked "where's my plate?" 
  F                C
I said come in, he said I'll wait
  Am                           G
I ran away, I always run away
F                               C
Sometimes I'll forget to do the things that others do
Am           C                G
Take as it's handed like some bourbon on the room
F                                 C
Sometimes I'll be up and drunk my problems on a few
      Am                   G                        C
But I learned out there, I learned a thing or two

[Cello Solo]
Am   C    G    F   (x2)

  C                  G           F            C
I knew when you were coming oh I learned your name
      F                                C
And I tried to make it all seem by mistake
  Am              G                    F             C
I didn't know the lengths I'd go, what I'd devote in every note
  Am                                 G
I found a hill and built a cityscape
         F                            C
So while sometimes I forget to do the things that lovers do
Am              C              G
Take it all for granted like a night I'm sleeping through 
F                             C
Sometimes I'm awakened from a dream cold and confused
         Am             G                       C
But I'll learn again to fall in love with you
     F                            C
Yeah sometimes I forget to do the things that lovers do
     Am             G                       C
I'll learn again to fall in love with you
         Am               G                      C
Cause I learned, I did, I learned a thing or two
