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          F#m            D
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand,
        A       E           A
Saying, someday you'll understand.
Chorus
          E                              A
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,
         E                         A
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
       Bm     D       A
'Cause someday never comes.
Verse
      A              E            F#m         Dm
Well, time and tears went by, and I collected dust.
    A               F               A
For there were many things I didn't know.
                 E             F#m         D
When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man,
    A       E           A
And someday you'll understand.
Chorus
          E                              A
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,

That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
       Bm      D     A
'Cause someday never comes.
Verse
    A               E        F#m         Dm
And then one day in April, 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.

Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,
         E                         A
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
       Bm      D      A
'Cause someday never comes.

Oooh, someday never comes.
