Intro.:  | (G)  | (D)  | (Em)  | (C) (D) |  x 2

(G)Baby, come take a (D)look at this dusty year-(Em)book
Do you re-(C)member (D)those two (G)kids?
It's you and (D)me most likely to (Em)succeed
Had it all (C)planned out, (D)yes, we (C)did

You were off to (Bm)college gonna practice (C)law, I was gonna (D)play football

But we (C)threw it all a-(G)way, that's what the (D)whole town had to (G)say
Momma (C)cried, daddy went for a (Bm)drive and the whole world (D)changed
Not a (C)clue what to (G)do, so I just (D)kept on loving (Em)you
(D)On the (C)day that we (D)threw it all away

Inst.:  | (G)  | (D)  | (Em)  | (C) (D) |

(G) The fall came and (D)went and so did are (Em)friends
Off doing all the (C)things we (D)thought we (G)would
It was tough I (D)know, but we never let (Em)go
Kept holdin' onto (C)prayers, we (D)thought we (C)could

And then that (Bm)morning in December, (C)baby, don' you re-(D)member?

When we (C)threw it all away,(G) that's what the (D)whole town had to say(G)
With your (C)baby blue eyes, our (Bm)baby boy cried and the (D)whole world changed
Not a (C)clue what to (G)do, so I just (D)kept on loving (Em)you
(D)On the (C)day that we (D)threw it all away

(Am) Ain't it funny how (Bm)life works out some-(C)times just like we planned? (G)
(F) You make all the (A)rules in this house
(C) And I'm quarterbacking for our (D) little man

(C) You were off to college gonna practice law, I was gonna (D)play football

But we (C)threw it all away, (Bm) that's what the (Am)whole town had to say(G)
Momma (C)cried, daddy went for a (Bm)drive and the whole world (D)changed
Not a (C)clue what to (G)do, so I just (D)kept on loving (Em)you (D)
On the (C)day that we (D)threw it all
