Me And Charlie Talking

Young country singer, was on CMT's 
top 20 list for a while, song still 
plays all over
the radio.
A                           
Me and Charlie boy used to go 
            D
walking, sittin'
                        A
in the woods behind my house
D                          A
When being lovers meant a stolen 
kiss and
                                E
holdin hands with nobody else around
  A                          
Charlie said he wanted to get 
           D
married, but we
                            A
were only ten so we had to wait
D                                 
He said we'd never let our love 
   A
run dry like so

many do these days

CHORUS:
D
So we treat our love like a firefly,
 like it
      D    E  A
only gets to shine, for a little 
while
D
Catch it in a mason jar with wholes 
in the
         D   E    A
top and run like hell to show it off
G                                 
Oh promises were made when we'd go
  E
 walkin,
           G   E             A
thats just me and Charlie talkin

   A
Charlie always said he'd have to 
leave here,
  D                                
turned eighteen and left our sleepy
  A
 town
D                              
Letters came and went and I kept 
   A
waiting for

Charlie to come back and bring the 
life he'd
E
found
A
Funny how time and distance can 
change you,
D                                 
the road you take dont always lead
      A
 you home
D                            
You can start a love with good 
   A
intentions and

then you look up and its gone

CHORUS
