Hi! Another great song by Taylor and easy to play too!
Some of the Dsus2 hammer right into a D on the next word,
but you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
Also I like C's better than Cadd9's but it can be played
with the Cadd9 and just keeping your ring and pinkie fingers
planted on the B and e 3rd fret throughout the song. I like
moving my hand around more so it doesn't get too stiff from
holding the same position! The strumming is pretty simple
with quick chord progressions!
So there you have it! Please rate:)
Standard tuning-no capo
Ah ah oh...
Ah ah oh...
You were in college,
Workin' part time waitin' tables
Left a small town never looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fear of fallin'
C G D - once
Wonderin' why we bother with love
If it never lasts.
I say "Can you believe it?"
As were lyin on the couch
The moment I could see it, yes, yes
D once
I can see it now
Do you remember we were sittin' there by the water?
You put your arm around me- for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing- that's ever been mine.
Flash forward and we're takin' on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out
Why I'm guarded.
G D once
You say we'll never make my parents mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothin' figured out
When it was hard to take, yes, yes
This is what I thought about.
Do you remember we were sittin' there by the water?
You put your arm around me- for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing- that's ever been mine.
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe- for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing- that's ever been mine.
Oh oh ohh..
And I remember that fight, 2:30 am
'Cause everything was slippin' right
Out of our hands
I ran out cryin' and you followed me out into the street....
Braced myself for the goodbye
'Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise,
C G D C once
You said "I'll never leave you alone"
(Palm mute entire this verse)
You said "I remember how we felt sittin' by the water
And everytime I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"
(Hold on, we can make it last)
(Hold on), never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing- that's ever been mine
(Hold on), Do you believe it?
(Hold on), We're gonna make it now
(Hold on) And I can see it
C G Dsus2 once
(Yeah, yeah... I can see it now, see it now, see it now)
Have fun:)
