A#
Same old scenario, one guy's young
              D#
and one guy's old
A#
One's in love and sitting on gold,
                               D#
and one's already walked that road
F
One's on year number 33, and one just
                     A#
bought that diamond ring
Cm7              A#/D
One says dad so how'd you do it?
    D#
The other just laughed and said there
ain't nothing to it

Chorus:
          D#
You just try to quit smoking and reel
back the drinkin'
Don't always tell her everything your thinkin'
     A#             D#        A#
And dance her when she needs dancing
        D#
You get up and go to work get up and go to church
Crawl up in that bed right next to her
     A#                 D#            A#
And listen, instead of having all the answers
             Cm7               A#/D
And then he slapped him on the back,
              D#
and said son you can do it
F                      A#
There ain't nothin' to it

There'll be trouble along the way
Words will fly and dishes break
The baby comes in and money goes out
You will learn to ride the ups and downs
You'll wanna quit a million times
But if you hang on, the years unwind
And when you get to see your blushing bride
Turn beautiful at 35, or 45, or 55

Chorus:
You'll be glad you quit smokin' and reeled
back the drinkin'
Didn't always tell her everything you were
thinkin'
And danced her when she needed dancin'
You got up and went to work, got up and
went to church
Crawled up in that bed right next to her
and listened
Instead of having all the answers
It's only love and all of us go through it
And if I had to do it again you know I'd do it
There ain't nothin' to it
No, there ain't nothin' to it
