[Intro]
| Em D/F# | G   | C   | C   | x2
 
[Verse 1]
          Em          D/F#
come home early after class
         G                                 C
don't be hanging round the back of the schoolyard
            Em             D/F#
I've been called up by a teacher
             G                                 C
she says she can't even reach you cause you're so far
             Em                D/F#
you've been talking with your fist
          G                            C
we didn't raise you up like this, now did we
                  Em              D/F#
there have been changes in this house
        G                             C
things you don't know about in this family
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
              Am                 C
it don't make sense, but nevertheless
                  G                    D
you gotta believe us, it's all for the best
              Am
it don't make sense
               C
the way things go
               D
son you should know
 
[Chorus]
          Em       D    G/B         C
sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
          Em  D         G/B         C
sometimes two homes are better than one
                Em             D                G/B              C
some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
            Am          C
yeah you'll understand
                   Em  D/F#  G    C
when you love someone
 
[Verse 2]
            Em             D/F#
There ain't no one here to blame
G                                    C
nothing's going to change with your old friends
     Em                 D/F#
Your room will stay the same
              G                   C
'cause you'll only be away on the weekends
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
              Am                 C
it don't make sense, but nevertheless
                  G                    D
you gotta believe us, it's all for the best
              Am
it don't make sense
             C
It don't add up
               G                 D
We'll always love you no matter what
 
[Chorus]
          Em       D    G/B         C
sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
          Em  D         G/B         C
sometimes two homes are better than one
                Em             D                G/B              C
some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
            Am          C
yeah you'll understand
                   Em  D/F#  G    C
when you love someone
                   Em  D/F#  G    C
when you love someone
 
[Bridge]
           Em          D/F#
come home early after class
         G                               C
don't be hanging round the back of the schoolyard
          Em            D/F#
If we're crying on the couch
           G                               C
Don't let it freak you out, it's just been so hard
 
[Chorus]
          Em       D    G/B         C
sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
              Em     D        G/B        C
sometimes the best intentions just ain't enough
                Em             D                G/B              C
some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
 
[Outro]
  Am        C
yeah you'll understand
                   Em  D/F#  G    C
when you love someone
                   Em  D/F#  G    C
when you love someone
                   Em  D/F#  G    C
when you love someone
                   Em  D/F#  G    C
when you love someone

Because my mom and dad is getting an divorce, and my father moved out to day. I am 17 years old, and have a sister. She is 11 years old, so she still to young to understand everything. I thimk that this song describes my situasjon right now, and i want to share it to people with this song.

For the last chorus, just wanted to let everyone know that instead of "sometimes two homes are better than one" it's "sometimes the best intentions just ain't enough" Good luck to all the singer and guitar players learning this song! It's a beautiful song to learn!

I'm sorry, but this wasn't quite right. It's a bit higher in pitch. Good luck though!
