G             C           G 
Mom says it's cold outside 
        D          C           G 
And she worries waiting at cold 
G             C           G 
Dad says its dark outside 
         D     C              G 
Shouldn't be there on our own 

Am                            C              G 
Because the mysteries in the wonders of the world 
G 
Are too hard 
D7 
Are too hard 
Am             C               G 
And someday we all be on our own 
G 
And you'll be too much 
D7 
Too much 

G        C         G 
I'm not afraid outside 
            D            C            G 
Because the thing doesn't hurt no more 
G            C           G 
She knows my name by heart 
           D          C             G 
I have seen her many times before 

Am                            C              G 
Because the mysteries in the wonders of the world 
G 
Are too hard 
D7 
Are too hard 
Am             C               G 
And someday we all be on our own 
G 
And you'll be too much 
D7 
Too much
