[Verse 1]
B         F#                       G#m  E
Four shots in, you're pouring me a fifth.
B         F#            G#m       E
No girl's ever looked at me like this.
B               F#                    G#m         E
Your roommate's pissed, she's halfway out the door,
B            F#
we throw our glasses back,
       G#m            E
and I shiver as your hair kisses the floor.
 
 
[Chorus]
E                       F#                          B
I don't remember which party we danced through that night,
 
the boys ask stupid questions,
G#m                                      E
we just laugh about the secret we can't hide.
E                         F#                       B
For the first time, Cinderella's staying out past midnight,
                                   G#m
Your lips pressed soft against my shoulder,
            E
It's not forever,
              F#                               B
it's just a moment we can smile at when we're older.
 
 
[Verse 2]
B              F#                         G#m  E
You grabbed my hand and dragged me to your room.
B              F#             G#m
My heart takes off and doesn't stop
             E
until she's halfway to the moon.
B             F#              G#m  E
Suddenly we're sober and we're shy,
B              F#             G#m              E
but someday we'll be brave enough to look each other in the eye.
 
 
[Chorus]
E                       F#                          B
I can't remember which party we danced through that night,
             F#
the boys ask stupid questions,
G#m                                      E
we just laugh about the secret we can't hide.
E                       F#                          B
For the first time, Cinderella can't hear the clock strike.
B             F#                 G#m
With her lips pressed against my shoulder.
E                             F#                                B    F#  G#m  E
It's not forever, it's just a moment we can smile at when we're older. (x2)
 
 
[Bridge]
E                            F#                              B
You hate your face the next morning in line for the waffle iron.
 F#                   G#m
I forgive you, I was nervous too.
E                 F#                      B         F#            G#m
Couple years flew by, 'til we talked for hours at a house party in College Park,
E                       G#m   F#
We didn't kiss, we just reminisced.
 
 
[Chorus/Outro]
E                       F#                       B
I don't remember which one of us was last to reply.
            F#            G#m                                 E
Boys still ask me stupid questions, I just scoff and roll my eyes
                  F#
Now I know that Cinderella don't need no prince to survive,
B           F#               G#m
sometimes I check up on your profile.
            E                   F#                              B   F#
It's not forever, it's just the way I tend to think of you and smile,
            E                   F#                               B  F#
It's not forever, it's just the way you cross my mind once in a while,
            E                 F#                               B
It's not forever, it's just a moment we can smile at when we're older.
