Intro: C2 G Dsus
C2 G Dsus Em7
You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
C2 G Dsus
Left a small town and never looked back
C2 G Dsus Em7
I was a flight risk, afraid of fallin'
C2 G Dsus
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
C2 G Dsus
- I say, "Can you believe it?"
C2 G Dsus
- As we're lyin' on the couch
C2 G Dsus
- The moment, I can see it
C2 G Dsus
- Yes, yes, I can see it now
C2 G
Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?
Dsus Em7 Dsus
You put your arm around me for the first time
C2 G
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
Dsus Em7 Dsus C2
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
C2 G Dsus Em7
Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
C2 G Dsus
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
C2 G Dsus Em7
You learn my secrets and figure out why I'm guarded
C2 G Dsus
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
C2 G Dsus
- But we got bills to pay
C2 G Dsus
- We got nothin' figured out
C2 G Dsus
- When it was hard to take
C2 G Dsus
- Yes, yes

I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street
