[Intro ]
Em C G D
[Verso 1]
Em
Picked you up on a Tuesday night
C G
Seeing skin in the passenger si-ide
Taking every backroad through
D
Blowing every stop sign we knew
Em C
Said you had a place in mi-ind
G
You told me it'll all be fi-ine
So we drank like a Friday in June
D
Got us talking 'bout Jesus and you
Em
Said you don't kiss on a first date
C
I was drinking but remember everything
G
You asked me why I'm driving slow
D
But all I know
[Refrão]
Em
Is those green eyes
C
Pulling me over on the South Side
G
Kissing you underneath the moonlight
D
Didn't wanna leave like this
Em
So we took the long drive
C
Missing every exit just to burn time
G
Banking on a day where I can call you mine
D
I never really felt like this
Em C
Yeah it's those green eye-e-eyyye-eye-eye-eyes
{Instrumental}
C G G D D

Cops pulling us over on the side
C
You just lasted turn on your lights
G
Cracking jokes 'bout it all way home
D
He probably would've to if he'd known
Em
We were running on half a tank
C
And we were running on a little heartache
G
But not the kind you want to throw away

It's the kid that'll make you wanna stay
[Refrão]
