Mine

C D G Em
You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
C D G Em
Left a small town and never looked back
C D G Em
I was a flight risk, afraid of fallin’
C D D[stop]
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts

C D G
I say, “Can you believe it?”
C G D
As we’re lyin’ on the couch
C D G
The moment, I can see it
C G D
Yes, yes, I can see it now

Chorus:
C D G Em
Do you remember, we were sittin’ there, by the water?
C D G Em
You put your arm around me for the fist time
C D G Em
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
C D G Em C G D
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

C D G Em
Flash forward, and we’re takin’ on the world together
C D G Em
And there’s a drawer of my things at your place
C D G Em
You learn my secrets and figure out why I’m guarded
C D G Em
You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes


C D G
But we got bills to pay
C G D
We got nothin’ figured out

C D G
When it was hard to take
C
Yes, yes
D
This is what I thought about:


C D G Em
Do you remember, we were sittin’ there, by the water?
C D G Em
You put your arm around me for the fist time
C D G Em
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
C D G Em
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

C D G Em
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
C D G Em
You saw me start to believe for the first time
C D G Em
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
C D G Em C D G
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
C G D
Oh, oh, oh, oh


Em C
And I remember that fight, two-thirty AM
G D
You said everything was slipping right out of our hands
Em C G D
I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street

Em C G D
Braced myself for the goodbye, cause that’s all I’ve ever known
Em C G
Then, you took me by surprise
D C
You said, “I’ll never leave you alone.”


C D G Em
You said, “I remember how we felt, sitting by the water.
C D G Em
And every time I look at you, it’s like the first time.
C D G Em
I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter.
C D G Em C D G Em C D G Em
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine.”

C D G Em
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
C D G Em C D G
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Em C D G
Do you believe it?
Em C D G
We’re gonna make it now
Em C D
And I can see it
C
I can see it now
