Intro: D Em7 G A
D Em7
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
G A
In the front seat of his car
D Em7
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
G A D
The other on my heart
Em7
I look around, turn the radio down
G A
He says, "Baby is something wrong?"
D Em7
I say, "Nothing I was just thinking
G A (just strum down 4 times)
How we don't have a song?"
N.C. (mute guitar)
And he says
D Em7
Our song is a slamming screen door
G A
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
D Em7 G
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
A D
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Em7
Our song is the way you laugh
G A
The first date man, I didn't kiss her and I should have
G (strum down) A Em7
And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
D/F# G(hold them strum down twice)
Asking God if He
N.C. D Em7 G A D Em7
could play it again I was walking up the front
porch steps
G A
After everything that day
D Em7
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
G A
And a-lost and thrown a way
D Em7
Got to the hallway, well, on my way
G A
To my lovin' bed
D Em7
I almost didn't notice all the roses
G A
And the note that said
D Em7
Our song is a slamming screen door
G A
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
D Em7 G
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
A D
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Em7
Our song is the way you laugh
G A
The first date man, I didn't kiss her and I should have
G (strum down) A Em7
And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
D/F# G(hold them strum down twice)
Asking God if He
G A D Em7 G A D
