She said
D
I was seven and you were nine
   A
I looked at you like the stars that shined
G
In the sky, the pretty lights

         D
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
 A
Growin' up and fallin' in love
         G
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
          Em
And said: Oh, my, my, my

         D
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
            A
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
     G
You never did, you never did
         D
Take me back when our world was one block wide
   A
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
 G               Em
Just two kids, you and I
    D               A  G
Oh, my, my, my, my

      D
Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
   A
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
         G
But your eyes still shined
      G
Like pretty lights

         D
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
     A
They never believed we'd really fall in love
         G
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
          Em
And said: Oh, my, my, my

         D
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
 A
Two AM ridin' in your truck
    G
And all I need is you next to me
         D
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
      A
The slammin' of doors 'stead of kissin' goodnight
      G                      Em
You stayed outside till the morning light
    D
Oh, my, my, my, my

   D
A few years had gone and come around
         A
We were sittin' at our favorite spot in town
         G
And you looked at me
         Em
Got down on one knee

         D
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
     A
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
     G
You said: I do, and I did too
         D
Take me home, where we met so many years before
       A
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
      G                  Em
After all this time, you and I

    D
And I'll be eighty-seven, you'll be eighty-nine
            A
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
G
In the sky
    Em        D
Oh, my, my, my
