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
