[Intro]
F G Am F G
F G Am
Na, na, na, ya, ya, la-la-la-la
F Gsus2
La-la, la, la, yeah
[Verse 1]
F G Am
You were in college working part time waitin' tables
F G
Left a small town, never looked back
F G Am
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
F G
Wonderin' why we bothered with love if it never lasts
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G F C
I say, "Can you believe it?"
G F C
Yeah, as we're lyin' on the couch
G
The moment I could see it
F C G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see it now
[Chorus]
F C
I remember, we were sittin' there by the water
G Am G
You put your arm around me for the first time
F C
Made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
G Am G
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
F
Yeah, that's ever been mine
[Verse 2]
C G Am
Flash forward and we're takin' on the world together
F C G
There's a drawer of my things at your place
F C G Am
You learn my secrets and I figure out why I'm guarded
F C G
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G F C
But we got bills to pay
G F C
And we got nothing figured out
G
When it was hard to take
F C G
Yeah, yeah, this is what I—
N.C.
I keep messing up, go again
N.C.
This is what I thought about
[Chorus]
F C
I remember, we were sittin' there by the water
G Am G
You put your arm around me for the first time
F C
Made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
G Am G
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
F C
I remember, we were sittin' there by the water
G Am G
You put your arm around me for the first time
F C
Made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
G Am G F C
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
G Am F C G
That's ever been mine
[Bridge]
Am F
I remember that fight, 2:30 A.M
G
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
Am F G F C
And you ran out crying and I followed you out into the street
G F C
Braced myself for the goodbye
G F C
'Cause that's all I've ever known
G F C
Then you took me by surprise
G
You said, "I'll never leave you alone"
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
I said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water
G Am G
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
F C
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
G
You iare the best thing that's ever been mine"
[Chorus]
F C
I remember, we were sittin' there by the water
G Am G
You put your arm around me for the first time
F C
Made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
G Am G F
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
(originally by Taylor Swift)
You were in college working part-time waiting tables
Left a small town, and never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I could see it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see it now
I remember, we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
Made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
That's ever been mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
There's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and I figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
And we got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yeah, yeah, and this is what I... (I keep messin' up, go again)
This is what I thought about
I remember, we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
Made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
I remember, we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
Made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
That's ever been mine
I remember that fight
Two-thirty AM
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
And you ran out crying and I followed you out into the street
Braced myself for the "Goodbye"
'Cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone"
I said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
You're the best thing that's ever been mine."
I remember, we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
Made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
