Intro: C  F  G  C 

verse 1 
C                  F 
When he was just a boy of five 
    C                          G 
His dad sat him down and said, "Son, 
    C                F 
The light that I see in your eyes 
            G               C    G 
Says you'll do what's never been done" 

verse 2 
C                         F 
Well the boy, he grew the way they do 
     C                  G 
Underneath the moon and sun 
      C                F 
And a voice beyond his paper route 
        G               C 
Said go do what's never been done 

Dm               G 
And he tried too hard 
   F              C 
To be the best he could be 
Am                  Dm 
But in his father's eyes 
       F          G 
It was always disappointing 

verse 3 
       C              F 
Though he had once so many dreams 
          C                 G 
They were all wrapped up in one 
C                   F 
This scruffy boy in grubby jeans 
          G               C 
Who would do what's never been done

verse 4 
   C                   F 
In school, he moved on well enough 
       C                G 
To the rat race, he did run 
   C             F 
To prove that he had the stuff 
       G               C 
For to do what's never been done 

Dm               G 
And he worked so hard 
   F      C 
To be the model son 
Am                 Dm 
Till he came to realize 
     F                G 
That it just couldn't be done 

Verse 5 
     C                  F 
Till he met a girl with golden hair 
       C                   G 
With a heart as big as the sun 
          C                F 
Said, "If you will take me as I am 
            G               C    G 
Then you'll do what's never been done 
C                   F 
If you will take me as I am 
            G               C 
Then you'll do what's never been done"
