B               F#         G#m           Em
First thing I remember was asking papa, why,
      B               G               B
For there were many things I didn't know.
                  F#         G#m            E
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand,
         B       F#           B
Saying, someday you'll understand.

Chorus:
          F#                             B
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every
mother's son,
         F#                         B
That you better learn it fast, you better
learn it young,
        C#m    E      B
'Cause someday never comes.

The time and tears went by, and I collected dust
For there were many things I didn't know
When Daddy went away, he said "try to be a man
And someday you'll understand".

Chorus

And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there
For there were many things I didn't know
A son was born to me, mama held his hand
Saying "someday you'll understand"

Chorus

      C#m      E     B   G
Oooh, someday never comes.

  C              G           Am           Fm
Think it was September, the year I went away,
      C              G#              C
For there were many things I didn't know.
                      G       Am             F
And I still see him standing tryin' to be a man,
         C       G            C
I said, someday you'll understand.

Chorus:
           G                             C
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every
mother's son,
          G                         C
That you better learn it fast, you better
learn it young,
       Dm      F      C
'Cause someday never comes.
       Dm      F     C
Oooh, someday never comes.
