C             G                     D            Em7
 You were in college working part time waiting tables
C             G            D
 Left a small town, never looked back
C            G          D         Em7
 I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
C                     G             D
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

C G D                    C G
  I say can you believe it?
D                       C  G
 As we're lying on the couch
    D
The moment I could see it
C    G  D
Yes, yes, I can see it now

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

C          G            D                 Em7
 Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
C                 G         D
 And there's a drawer of my things at your place
C             G                      D            Em7
 You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
C            G                   D
 You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

C G D
     But we got bills to pay
C G D
     We got nothing figured out
C G D
     When it was hard to take
C    G    D
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about

C                        G
 Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
D                         Em       D
 You put your arm around me for the first time
C                      G
 You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D                      Em          D
 You are the best thing that's ever been mine
C                        G
 Do you remember all the city lights on the water
D                      Em           D
 You saw me start to believe for the first time
C                      G
 You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D                      Em          D
 You are the best thing that's ever been mine

        Em                     C
And I remember that fight, two thirty AM
    D
You said everything was slipping out of our hands
Em                      C                         D
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
C G         D
   Braced myself for the goodbye
C G              D
   'Cause that's all I've ever known
C G    D
   And you took me by suprise
C G         D                     C
   You said I'll never leave you alone

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

C                      G
 You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D
 You are the best thing that's ever been mine
C     G         D
(Hold on) Do you believe it?
C     G         D
(Hold on) We're gonna make it now
C     G        D
(Hold on) And I can see it
C     G          D
Yeah, yeah (I can see it now, see it now, see it now
