But I didn't dare to call

My parents hadn't even met
C D G C
We're 13 years apart
Like my parents were
C D G
They're 13 years apart and for them it's worked out
C D G B7
They had me and my brother
They had me and my brother as achievements of their love
C D G
They had me and my brother
They had me and my brother
(just stay with G from prevoius verse)
G B7 C D until end
My father loved my mother so
That he would never let her down
