C G D x4 on fourth time don't jump the beat for the D [Verse] C G D You were in college working part-time, waiting tables C G D Left a small town never looked back C G D I was a flight risk with a fear of falling C G D wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts C G D I say can you believe it? C G D As we're lying on the couch C G D The moment I could see it C G D yes yes I can see it now [Chorus] C G Do you remember we were sitting there by the water D Em D 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 D You are the best thing that's ever been mine C (Don't jump the beat for first 4 D's) [Verse] C G D Flash forward and we're taking on the world together C G D And there's a drawer of my things at your place C G D You learned my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded? C G D You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes C G D We got bills to pay C G D We got nothing figured out C G D When it was hard to take, yes yes C G D This is what I thought about [Chorus] C G Do you remember we were sitting there by the water D Em D 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 D You are the best thing that's ever been mine C G Do you remember all the city lights on the water D Em D 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 D You are the best thing that's ever been mine C G D x2 [Verse] Em C And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM D You said everything was slipping right out of our hands Em C D I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street C G D Brace myself for the goodbye C G D Cos that's all I've ever known C G D And you took me by surprise C G D C You said I'll never leave you alone [Chorus] C G I remember how we felt sitting about the water D Em D And every time I look at you it's like the first time C G I fell in love with careless man’s careful daughter D Em D She is the best thing that’s ever been mine C G Hold on, Make it last D Em D Hold on, Never turn back C G You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter D You are the best thing that's ever been mine C G D Hold on, Yeah yeah ... do you believe it?
