One of the best love songs ever - Chesney Kicks Butt!!!

Verse 1
G           Am
I havn’t seen you in forever
C           G
Ah you havn’t changed a bit
G           Am
You didn’t think that I’d remember
C       D
How could I forget

Chorus
D      G                 D      Am
We sang Bobby McGehee on the hood of my car
Am          C
Mad a wish on every star
G   D       C
In that clear September sky
    G          D
One bottle of wine & 2 Dixie cups
Am      C
3 A.M. I fell in love
G   D       C
For the first time in my life
        Am      D       G
Oh that’s something that just don’t happen twice

Verse 2

To this day I still taste that first kiss
How I prayed it wouldn’t end
In a way, seeing you like this
I guess I never really did

Chorus again and again till you get tired of it
