Fmaj7 c g Allie woke up am graduation day Fmaj7 c g got into a car crashed along the way Fmaj7 we arrived late to the wait c g stole the urn while they looked away Fmaj7 c g drove to the beach cuz i knew youd want it that way
chorus d you were standin on the hood of your car Fmaj7 cadd9 singin out loud when the sun came up Fmaj7 c g And i know it wasnt right but it felt so good Fmaj7 c g and ya mother didnt mind like i thought she would Fmaj7 c g that REM song was playin in my mind d Fmaj7 cadd9 3 and half minutes felt like a lifetime
Fmaj7 c g And you move like water Fmaj7 c g i could drown in you Fmaj7 c g and i fell so deep once Fmaj7 c g till you pulled me through d and you tell me no is allowed to be so proud c cadd9 everytime when their giving up
(Chorus) youll change between fmaj7 and c constantly during this verse
Are you standing in the lights
or combng your hair again and talkin in rymes
are you standing in the lines Fmaj7 c g when i got home i heard the phone your parents had arrived Fmaj7 c g your dad set his jaw ya mom just smiled and sighed Fmaj7 c but they left soon and i went to my room g played that disc youd givin me Fmaj7 c g shut my eyes swear i could hear the sea
