Album: Takin' The Country Back

Intro:  G/// C/// G/// D/// G

G            D          C               G
First date, first kiss, I never will forget
     D                   C
The way you looked that night
G             D            C                      G
Parked out, across town, watchin' the stars fall down
                    D                     
Girl your hair was soft and brown and
C       G               C               D       
Just before we get too far, I hear you say
C             G              C              D        G       
It's getting late we need to go and it's a long way back

Instrumental:  G/// C/// G/// D/// G

G            D              C                 G
Made plans, got rings, and had us a million dreams
     D                   C
of where our road might lead
G           D              C                             G
It wasn't long, we had a truck, with all of our things boxed up
                 D             
Left town in a cloud of dust and...
C              G        C           D
Got moving, improving, why I can't say
C             G              C      D        G
But suddenly it seems to me such a long way back

G             D            C                 G
I've tried, you've tried, but nobody's satisfied
     D                C
Is this where it all ends?
G                   D             C           G
We can't be so far down where we can't turn around 
              D               
Pick up this love we found and
C       G               C               D    
Just before we get too far, I hear you say
C             G               C                D            
It's getting late we need to go and its a long way 

C       G               C               D    
Just before we get too far, I hear you say
C             G              C             D        G  
It's getting late we need to go and its a long way back
