(Intro.)
|(G) / (D) / |(Bm) / (A)

(Verse 1)
It won't be (G)long
'Til that (D)shot of Jack works your nerve (Bm)up to get her name (A)
It won't be (G)long
'Til the (D)parking lot kiss by your (Bm)truck turns into a date (A)
It won't be (G)long 'til your buddies wonder (D)where you been
'Cause you (Bm)skipped out on a duck(A) trip again
It won't be (G)long 'til you see your old (D)man was right
When he (Bm)said, "The funny thing about (A)life is"

(Chorus)
(G) It might be (D)crazy, it might be (Bm)sweet
Might not be (A)perfect and it might (G)be
The last thing that you (D)ever saw coming
But it (Bm)gets a little better when it's (A)spinning 'round something, so
(G) Buy the drink, steal the kiss, (D) make the trip, take th„u risk
(Bm) Love hard as you can (A) and just hold on (G)
'Cause (D)life might b„u a (Bm)lot of things
(A) But it won't be long |(G) / (D) / |(Bm) / (A)

(Verse 2)
It won't be (G)long
'Til you (D)take a starter house to the (Bm)studs and paint it white (A)
It won't be (G)long
'Til there's a (D)crib where the pool table (Bm)was and you're up all night (A)
It won't be (G)long 'til you're sitting at a (D)ballgame
And your (Bm)last name's at the (A)plate, wearing 7 again (G)
And right there in your (D)folding chair
(Bm)That's where it all sinks (A)in

(Chorus)
(G) It might be (D)crazy, it might be (Bm)sweet
Might not be (A)perfect and it might (G)be
The last thing that you (D)ever saw coming
But it (Bm)gets a little better when it's (A)spinning 'round something, so
(G) Buy the drink, steal the (G)kiss, make the trip, take th„u risk
(Bm)Love hard as you can (A) and just hold on (G)
'Cause (D)life might b„u a (Bm)lot of things
(A) But it won't (G) be long (D)

(Post-Chorus)
It won't be long (Bm) (A)

(Bridge)
'Til it's a (Bm)beer at a bar with the boy that you raised
He's a (A)man with a girl and a boy on the way
And it's (G)faster and faster, it ain't slowing down
'Til you're (A)talking 'bout life and you're telling him how

(Chorus)
(G) It might be crazy, (D) it might be sweet
(Bm) Might not be (A)perfect and it might be
(G) The last thing that you (D)ever saw coming
But it (Bm)gets a little better when it's (A)spinning 'round something, so
(G) Buy the drink, steal the kiss, (D) make the trip, take th„u risk
(Bm)Love hard as you can (A) and just hold on (G)
'Cause (D)life might b„u a (Bm)lot of things
(A) But it won't be long (G) (D)

(Outro.)
No, no (Bm) (A)
It won't be long (G) - - - - -
