C G
If I'm your boy
Am F
Let's take a shortcut we remember
C G
And we'll en-joy
Am F
Pickin' apples in late September
C G
Like we've done for years
Am F
Then we'll take a long walk through the corn field
C G F
And I'll kiss you between the ears

C G
If you're my girl
Am F
Swirl me around your room with feeling
C G
And as we twirl
Am F
the glow-in-the-dark stars on your ceiling
C G
Will shine for us
Am F
As love sweeps over the room
C G F
Cause we tend to make each other blush you make me blush
