Album: Never Love You Enough
Writers: Chely Wright/Brad Paisley
Intro: G C Em D C
G D
Flight 709 pulled up to the gate
Em D C
An hour and 45 minutes late
G D
And of course our connection was already in the air
Em D C
Spent a day of our vacation in Chicago O'Hare
D Dsus D
And like musical chairs at the baggage belt
C G
We were the last ones standin' there when nothin' came out
D Dsus D
Looking back now on our string of bad luck
C D
That just wasn't our day but you know what
G C
That one night in Las Vegas
D G
Lyin' there with you
D C D G
Was well worth everything that you and I went through
G C Em D C
G D
And so it goes, our life's been that way
Em D C
Puttin' out fires, takin' it day by day
G D
And look at this year, it's been our hardest one yet
Em D C
Just when we thought it had gotten bad as it could get
D Dsus D
You got transferred to Denver, I stayed behind
C G
Put the house on the market 'bout went outta my mind
D Dsus D
And your dad got sick, I've never seen you so scared
C D
We almost didn't make it through the year
G C
But that weekend in the mountains
D G
In a cabin all by ourselves
D C D G
Makin' that one memory made up for everything else
Em A
Oooh me and my insecurities
D G
You and your stubborn pride
C D E
If we've learned anything it's there's no winner when we fight
A D
So this mornin' in our kitchen
E A
After talkin' all night long
A E D E A
We finally stopped tryin' to figure out who's right and who is wrong
A D
And when you hold me like you're holdin' me
E A
And I kiss your tired face
E D E A
We know we took the long way here but wound up in a better place
A D
Baby one night in Las Vegas
A F#m D
Or one weekend in the mountains
A F#m D E A
Any moment we're together makes up for everything else
Outro: A D F#m E D A
