Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
G D A Bm
[Verse 1]
G
You'd be my firework
D
Memory burned in my mind
A
You'd be my sneaking out
Bm
Windows down midnight drive
G
I'd be your running late
D
Make you wait Friday night
A
And I could say
Bm
You were the right person, wrong time
G
You'd still be that Chesney song
D
Still have your Texas t-shirt
A
Still smile when I hear your name...
N.C.
If we'da just stayed
[Chorus]
G D
A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner
A Bm G
Cherry coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
D A
Just a July goodbye, instead of knowing how it ends
Bm
We would always get to wonder
G
We could just stay
D A
The one that got away for each other
Bm G
If we'da just stayed a summer
D A Bm7
We should've stayed a summer...
[Verse 2]
G
Wouldn't know how bad we'd fight
D
Two drinks in, 2 am
A
Wouldn't know how good you lie
Bm
Wouldn't know how jealous I get
G
Wouldn't hate that Chesney song
D
Or torn up your Texas t-shirt
A
It wouldn't hurt when I hear your name
A
If we'da just stayed
[Chorus]
G D
A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner
A Bm G
Cherry coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
D A
Just a July goodbye, instead of knowing how it ends
Bm
We would always get to wonder
G
We could just stay
D A
The one that got away for each other
Bm G
If we'da just stayed a summer
D A Bm7
We should've stayed a summer...
[Bridge]
G D A Bm
Shoulda just, shoulda just, shoulda just stayed a summer
G D A
Coulda just, coulda just, coulda just stayed a summer
N.C.
If we'da just stayed...
[Out-Chorus]
G D
A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner
A Bm G
Cherry coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
D A
Just a July goodbye, instead of knowing how it ends
Bm
We would always get to wonder
G
We could just stay
D A
The one that got away for each other
Bm G
If we'da just stayed a summer
D A
We should've stayed a summer
Bm
Should've been nothing more than a summer
You'd be my firework, memory burned in my mind
You'd be my sneaking out, windows down midnight drive
I'd be your running late, made you wait Friday night
And I could say you were the right person, wrong time
You'd still be that Chesney song
Still have your Texas t-shirt
Still smile when I hear your name
If we'da just stayed
A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner
Cherry Coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
Just a July goodbye, 'stead of knowing how it ends
We would always get to wonder
Could've just stayed the ones that got away for each other
If we'da just stayed a summer
We should've stayed a summer
Wouldn't know how bad we'd fight
Two drinks in, 2 AM
Wouldn't know how good you lie
Wouldn't know how jealous I get
Wouldn't hate that Chesney song
Or torn up your Texas t-shirt
It wouldn't hurt when I hear your name
If we'da just stayed
A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner
Cherry Coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
Just a July goodbye, 'stead of knowing how it ends
We would always get to wonder
Could've just stayed the ones that got away for each other
If we'da just stayed a summer
We should've stayed a summer
Shoulda just, shoulda just, shoulda just stayed a summer
Coulda just, coulda just, coulda just stayed a summer
If we'da just stayed
A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner
Cherry Coke mixed with something that we stole from your brother
Just a July goodbye, 'stead of knowing how it ends
We would always get to wonder
Could've just stay the ones that got away for each other
If we'da just stayed a summer
We should've stayed a summer
Should've been nothing more than a summer
