Greatest Love Story

(a.k.a American Love Story)

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
G Cadd9/G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
They said I was nothing but a troublemaker
Never up to no good
You were the perfect AllAmerican girl
Wouldn't touch me even if you could
But you was sneaking out your window every night, riding shotgun in my car
We'd go to the river and find us a spot and we probably went a little too far
                  Cadd9/G
Just a little too far
 
 
[Chorus]
       G                     Cadd9/G
'Cause I was gonna be your forever
Dadd11/G                 Cadd9/G
You     were gonna be my wife   
G                  Cadd9/G
We didn't know any better
Dadd11/G                 Cadd9/G
Didn't have a clue about life   
    G                      Cadd9/G
But I was what you wanted, you    were what I needed
    Dadd11/G                    Cadd9/G
And we      could meet in between      
G                    Cadd9/G                  Dadd11/G         G
We were gonna be the greatest love story this town    had ever seen
 
 
[Verse 2]
G Dadd11/G Cadd9/G G   G
                    So you went off to college and I got a job
I was workin' that nine to five
Dreamin' of the days when you were in my arms, I had never felt so alive
I spent my days workin', spent my nights drinkin'
Howlin' at the moon
Screaming for the days when you were coming back
No it couldn't come too soon
                  Cadd9/G
Couldn't come too soon
 
 
[Chorus]
     G                     Cadd9/G
When I was gonna be your forever
    Dadd11/G                 Cadd9/G
And you     were gonna be my wife   
    G                    Cadd9/G    Dadd11/G                       Cadd9/G
But you went off to find better and I       was learning all about life   
    G                      Cadd9/G
But I was what you wanted, you    were what I needed
    Dadd11/G                    Cadd9/G
And we      could meet in between      
G                    Cadd9/G                  Dadd11/G         G
We were gonna be the greatest love story this town    had ever seen

[Verse 3]
G   G
 So you came back after a long four years
Your college boyfriend didn't work out
So we went out for a couple of drinks to find out who we are now
Sure, we changed but way deep down you had the same old feelings for me
I went to the store and I bought you a ring and I got down on one knee
                Cadd9/G
Down on one knee
And I said
 
 
[Chorus]
G                   Cadd9/G
I'm gonna be your forever
   Dadd11/G            Cadd9/G
So baby will you be my wife   
G                         Cadd9/G Dadd11/G                       Cadd9/G
Now that we know a little better, we      could have a real nice life
       G                    Cadd9/G
'Cause I'm what you wanted, you're what I need
   Dadd11/G              Cadd9/G
So let's   meet in between      
G                   Cadd9/G                  Dadd11/G         G
We are gonna be the greatest love story this town    has ever seen
