If you don't get in the water, you're never gonna learn to swim

He said a snake is just as scared of you as you are of it.   
             Em                                                D 
                                
He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite,  
                           G                    G/B          C9 
Seems there was nothing that he didn't know, 
                                             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: 
             C                                  G 
He said, life is made for you to live,  
             D                                   G  
the best love is the love that you give. 
               C                                         D 
                       Em 
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go. 
         C                                      D                      G 
And I live by those words, cause Grandpa told me so. 
 
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 
   
                 C               D                         G           C9 
Yeah and I still believe, Grandpa told me so. 
                           G  
Grandpa told me so. 
                C9 
I still believe.
