D - Em - G - A (2x)
D Em G A
1. I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car,
D Em G A
he’s got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel, the other on my heart.
D Em G A
I look around, turn the radio down, he says, “Baby, is something wrong?”
D Em G A
I say, “Nothing, I was just thinking how we don’t have a song.
- - - - - - - - -
And he says...
D Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,
G A
sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window,
D Em G
when you’re on the phone and you talk real slow,
A D
’cause it’s late and your mama don’t know.
Em
Our song is the way you laugh,
G A
“The first date, man, I didn’t kiss her, but I should have.”
Em A Em
and when I got home, before I said “amen”,
G D
asking God if he could play it again. + D - Em - G - A
D Em G A
2. I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
D Em G A
had gone all wrong or been trampled on, and lost and thrown away.
D Em G A
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin’ bed,
D Em G A
I almost didn’t notice all the roses and the note that said.
+ CHORUS + D - Em - G - A (2x)
Em G
+ I’ve heard every album, listened to the radio,
D A Em G
waited for something to come along that was as good as our song.
D Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,
G A
sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window,
D Em G
when you’re on the phone and you talk real slow,
A D
’cause it’s late and your mama don’t know.
Em
Our song is the way you laugh,
G A
“The first date, man, I didn’t kiss her, but I should have.”
Em A Em
and when I got home, before I said “amen”,
G D - Em - G - A
asking God if he could play it aga....................in.
D - Em - G - A D - Em G - A
+ Play it aga....................in, oh yeah, ah ah, yeah.
D Em G A
3. I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car,
D Em - G - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin and I wrote down our song.
