(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
Drums x 4 bars

(Verse 1)
(G) We were walkin' down the (D)boardwalk
Watchin' stars out on the (Em)ocean
We were drunk on marga-(Bm)ritas
And that might've been my (C)moment
But we stood there in (D)silence
And watched the waves crash (G)

(Verse 2)
(G) Vacation with your (D)family
After midnight, in the (Em)kitchen
I was hangin' with your (Bm)dad
I coulda asked him but I (C)didn't
I don't know why, I guess I (D)thought I had more time

(Pre-Chorus)
If I hadn't (G)been so young and stupid (D)
Yeah, I let some-(Em)body beat me to it (Bm)
Don't know what you (C)got until you lose it
Guess I (D)blew it, baby, I should have married you

(Chorus)
(C) That's just the way it goes
(D) I should've seen it through
(G) I should've let you know
(Em) I should've said, "I do"
(C) Back when I still had the (D)chance, yeah
(D)I should have married you

(Verse 3)
(G) Maybe I thought I needed (D)freedom
Maybe it's all about the tim-(Em)ing
Maybe I wouldn't let my e-(Bm)go
Let somebody tie me down (C)
Aw, but I can't blame you for (D)not waitin' around

(Pre-Chorus)
If I hadn't (G)been so young and stupid (D)
 (I wish I would've known, wish I would've known)
Yeah, I let some-(Em)body beat me to it (Whoa, (Bm) yeah)
Don't know what you (C)got until you lose it
Guess I (D)blew it, baby, I should have married you

(Chorus)
(C) That's just the way it goes (Way it goes)
(D) I should've seen it through (Seen it through)
(G) I should've let you know (Let you know)
(Em) I should've said, "I do" (Said, "I do")
(C) Back when I still had the (D)chance, yeah, I should have married you

(Bridge)
(G) (D) Whoa-oh, oh (Em) 
(Bm) Whoa-oh, oh (C) (D)

(Pre-Chorus)
If I hadn't (G)been so young and stupid (D)
 (I wish I would've known, wish I would've known)
Yeah, I let some-(Em)body beat me to it (Whoa, yeah) (Bm)
Don't know what you (C)got until you lose it
Guess I (D)blew it, baby, I should have married you

(Outro.)
(C) That's just the way it goes (Way it goes)
(D) I should've seen it through (Seen it through)
(G) I should've let you know (Let you know)
(Em) I should've said, "I do" (Said, "I do")
(C) Back when I still had the (D)chance, yeah, I should have married you
(C) Back when I still had the (D)chance, yeah, (G) I should have married you - - - - -
