(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
You were in college working part time waiting tables
(Cadd9) (G) (D)
Left a small town never looked back
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling,
(Cadd9) (G) (D)
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Cadd9) (G) (D) (Cadd9)
I say can you believe it, as we\'re lying on the couch
(G) (D) (Cadd9) (G) (D)
The moment I can see it, yes yes, I can see it now.

Chorus:
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
(Do) you remember we were sitting there by the water?
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
You put your arm around me, for the first time
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
You made a rebel of a careless man\'s careful daughter
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Cadd9)
You are the best thing thats ever been mine.
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
Flash forward and were taking on the world together
(Cadd9) (G) (D)
And theres a drawer of my things at your place
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I\'m guarded
(Cadd9) (G) (D)
You say we\'ll never make my parents mistakes.
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Cadd9) (G) (D) (Cadd9)
But we got bills to pay, we got nothin\' figured out.
(G) (D) (Cadd9) (G) (D)
When it was hard to take, yes yes, this is what I thought about.

Oh oh oh oh
(Em) (Cadd9)
And I remember that fight 2:30am
(G) (D)
Cause everything was slippin right out of our hands
(Em) (Cadd9) (D) (Cadd9)
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
(G) (D) (Cadd9) (G) (D) (Cadd9)
Braced myself for the goodbye cause that\'s all I\'ve ever known
(G) (D) (Cadd9) (G) (D)
Then you took me by surprise, you said \"I\'ll never leave you alone\".
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
You said, \"I remember how we felt sittin\' by the water.
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
And everytime I look at you it\'s like the first time.
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
I fell in love with a careless mans careful daughter.
(Cadd9) (G) (D) (Em)
She is the best thing that\'s ever been mine.\"
