[Intro]
C G D Em C G D
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
C G D Em C G D
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse]
C G D Em
You were in college working part-time, waiting tables
C G D
Left a small town never looked back
C G D Em
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
C G D
wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D
I say can you believe it?
C G D C G
As we’re lying on the couch
D
The moment I could see it
C G D
yes, yes, I can see it now
[Chorus]
C G
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
D Em D
You put your arm around me for the first time
C G
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
D Em D C
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
[Verse]
C G D Em
Flash forward and we’re taking on the world together
C G D
And there’s a drawer of my things at your place
C G D Em
You learned my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded?
C G D
You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D
We got bills to pay
C G D C G D
We got nothing figured out
C G
When it was hard to take, yes yes
D
This is what I thought about
[Chorus]
C G
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
D Em D
You put your arm around me for the first time
C G
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
D Em D C
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
C G
Do you remember all the city lights on the water
D Em D
You saw me start to believe for the first time
C G
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
D Em D C
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
[Interlude]
C G D
C G D
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Bridge]
Em C
And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM
D
‘Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
Em C D
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D
Brace myself for the goodbye
C G D
Cause that’s all I’ve ever known
C G D
And you took me by surprise
C G D C
You said I’ll never leave you alone
[Chorus]
C G
You said, “I remember how we felt sittin’ by the water
D Em D
And every time I look at you, it’s like the first time
C G
I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter
D C
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine
[Outro]
C G
Hold on, make it last
D Em D
Hold on, never turn back
C G
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
D C G D
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
C G D
(Yeah, yeah) Do you believe it?
C G D
(Yeah, yeah, hey) we’re gonna make it now
C G D
(Yeah, yeah, hey) and I can see it
C G D
Yeah, yeah (And I can see it now, see it now, see it now)
