[Verse 1]
 
G                        D                    C             G
They said I was nothing but a troublemaker never up to no good
 
G                          D                      C                     G
You were the perfect All-American girl wouldn't touch me even if you could
 
G                               D                     C                 G
But you was sneaking out your window every night, riding shotgun in my car
 
G                          D                       C                        G
We'd go to the river and find us a spot and we probably went a little too far
 
                   C
Just a little too far
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
      G                      C     D                     C
Cause I was gonna be your forever you were gonna be my wife
 
G                      C    D                        C
We didn't know any better didn't have a clue about life
 
    G            C                                     D                   C
But I was what you wanted, you were what I needed and we could meet in between
 
     G                    C                     D             G
We were gonna be the greatest love story this town had ever seen

[Verse 2]
 
G                              D                    C              G
So you went off to college and I got a job I was workin' that 9 to 5
 
G                                   D                   C            G
Dreamin' of the days when you were in my arms, I had never felt so alive
 
G                          D                        C             G
I spent my days workin', spent my nights drinkin' howlin' at the moon
 
G                            D                            C                G
Screaming for the days when you were coming back no it couldn't come too soon
 
                    C
Couldn't come too soon
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
     G                       C    D                     C
When I was gonna be your forever you were gonna be my wife
 
     G                       C      D                         C
But you went off to find better and I was learning all about life
 
    G                        C                          D                   C
But I was what you wanted, you were what I needed, and we could meet in between
 
      G                   C                     D             G
We were gonna be the greatest love story this town had ever seen

[Verse 3]
 
G                          D                      C                          G
So you came back after a long four years your college boyfriend didn't work out
 
G                      D                       C              G
So we went out for a couple of drinks to find out who we are now
 
G                     D                          C                    G
Sure, we changed but way deep down you had the same old feelings for me
 
G                            D                     C                G                C
I went to the store and I bought you a ring and I got down on one knee down on one knee
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
            G                  C          D                  C
And I said I'm gonna be your forever So baby will you be my wife
 
 G                           C    D                           C
Now that we know a little better, we could have a real nice life
 
        G                     C                   D               C
Cause I'm what you wanted, you're what I need so let's meet in between
 
G                      C                      D             G
We are gonna be the greatest love story this town has ever seen
 
 
[Outro]
 
C/G                   G                       C/G            G
