I Call It Love
By Mel McDaniel

G                 Bm
Two young kids, a night in May
  C                 
A country road and a Chevrolet,
  G     D            G
Beneath   the summer moon
G               Bm
Almost a woman, almost a man
C
Things like this get out of hand
     G     D                G    
Seventeen,   and that's too soon


Chorus:
                Em
You can call it youth
    C               G
And blame it on the night
                Em
You can call it life 
    C                 G
And say that it's not right
                Bm
You can call it foolish
         C      D        G
Blame it on the stars above
                 Em      D
Call it what you want
          C
I call it love


Blood runs high, and wrong or right
They lose their heads, run off one night
And what's done can't be undone
Thinkin' life's an easy thing
A borrowed dress and a wedding ring
Eighteen, and that's too young

Chorus

Time goes on and in a while
It's a rented room and a month old child
And they're down
To just gettin' by
It's hard to laugh when life's that way
People shake their heads and say
They won't make it
Oh, but they might

Chorus
