[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh.
C G D Em G
D
 Oh, oh, oh.
C G D Em C G D

[Verse 1]
C            G                D
 You were in college, working parttime,
Em
waiting tables.
C       G          D
 Left a smalltown, never looked back.
C        G
 I was a flightrisk,
D       Em
 with a fear of fallin'.
C                G
Wondering why we bother with love,
D
 if it never lasts.

[Pre-Chorus]
C G D
    I say, "Can you believe it?"
C G D                      C     G
     As we're lyin' on the couch.
D
The moment, I can see it.
C    G   D
Yes, yes, I can see it now.

[Chorus]
C                         G
 Do you remember, we were sittin' there,
by the water?
D                          Em        D5
 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            D5        C
 You are the best thing  that's ever been mine.

[Verse 2]
G
 Flash forward,
          D             Em
and we're takin' on the world together.
C              G          D
 And there's a drawerof my things at your place.
C             G               D          Em
 You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded.
C              G             D
 You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes.

[Pre-Chorus]
C G D
     But we got bills to pay.
C G D                       C   G D
     We got nothin' figured out.
When it was hard to take.
C    G   D
Yes, yes. This is what I thought about.

[Chorus]
C                         G
 Do you remember, we were sittin' there,
by the water?
D                          Em        D5
 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            D5
 You are the best thing  that's ever been mine.
C                        G
 Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
D                           Em        D5
 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            D5
 You are the best thing  that's ever been mine.

[Bridge]
C G D
     Oh, oh, oh.

[Break]
C G D        Em
     And I remember that fight,
   C
twothirty AM.
         D
You said everything was slipping right out of our hands.
 Em
I  ran out, crying,
       C                         D
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
    Then, you took me by surprise.
C G    D
   You said,
                       C
"I'll never leave you alone."

[Chorus]
You said,
C                   G
 "I remember how we felt sittin' by the water,
D                            Em              D5
 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                     Em            D5
 She is the best thing  that's ever been mine.

Do you believe it?

     We're gonna make it now.

Yeah, yeah.
Can see it now.
