INTRO:
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh [D#] [A#] [F] [Gm] [D#] [A#] [F]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh [D#] [A#] [F] [Gm] [D#] [A#] [F]

VERSE 1:
[D#] You were in [A#] college working [F] part-time, [Gm] waiting tables
[D#] Left a [A#] small town [F] never looked back
[D#] I was a [A#] flight risk [F] with a [Gm] fear of falling
[D#] wondering why we [A#] bother with [F] love if it never lasts

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[D#] [A#] I [F] say can you believe it?
[D#] [A#] [F] As we're lying on the [D#] couch[A#]
The [F] moment I could see it
[D#] yes, [A#] yes, [F] I can see it now

CHORUS 1:
[D#] Do you remember we were [A#] sitting there by the water
[F] You put your arm around [Gm] me for the [F] first time
[D#] You made a rebel of a [A#] careless man's careful daughter
[F] You are the best thing [Gm] that's ever [F] been mine [D#]

VERSE 2:
[D#] Flash [A#] forward and we're [F] taking on the [Gm] world together
[D#] And there's a [A#] drawer of [F] my things at your place
[D#] You learned my [A#] secrets and you [F] figure out [Gm] why I'm guarded?
[D#] You say we'll [A#] never make my [F] parents' mistakes

PRE-CHORUS 2:
[D#] [A#] [F] We got bills to pay
[D#] [A#] [F] We got nothing figured [D#] out[A#] [F]
When it was hard to take, [D#] yes [A#] yes
[F] This is what I thought about

CHORUS 2:
[D#] Do you remember we were [A#] sitting there by the water
[F] You put your arm around [Gm] me for the [F] first time
[D#] You made a rebel of a [A#] careless man's careful daughter
[F] You are the best thing [Gm] that's ever [F] been mine

CHORUS 3:
[D#] Do you remember all the [A#] city lights on the water
[F] You saw me start to be[Gm] lieve for the [F] first time
[D#] You made a rebel of a [A#] careless man's careful daughter
[F] You are the best thing [Gm] that's ever [F] been mine

BREAK: [D#] [A#] [F] / [D#] [A#] [F]

BRIDGE:
And I re-[Gm]-member that fight, 2-[D#]-30 AM
'Cause [F] everything was slipping right out of our hands
[Gm] I ran out crying and you [D#] followed me out into the [F] street

PRE-CHORUS 4:
[D#] [A#] Brace my-[F]-self for the goodbye
[D#] [A#] Cause that's [F] all I've ever known
[D#] [A#] And [F] you took me by surprise
[D#] [A#] You said I'll [F] never leave you a-[D#]-lone

CHORUS 4:
You said,[D#] "I remember how we [A#] felt sittin' by the water
[F] And every time I look at [Gm] you, it's like the [F] first time
[D#] I fell in love with a [A#] careless man's careful daughter
[F] She is the best thing that's ever been mine [D#]

OUTRO:
[D#] Hold on, [A#] make it last
[F] Hold on, [Gm] never turn [F] back
[D#] You made a rebel of a [A#] careless man's careful daughter
[F] You are the best thing that's ever been m[D#] ine[A#] [F]
([D#] Yeah, [A#] yeah) [F] Do you believe it?
([D#] Yeah, [A#] yeah [F] hey) we’re gonna make it now
([D#] Yeah, [A#] yeah [F] hey) and I can see it
[D#] Yeah, [A#] yeah [F] (And I can see it now, see it now, see it now)
