[Verso 1]
Em Dsus4
When I was young, I fell in love
Csus2 G D/F#
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (yeah)
Em Dsus4
When we grew up, started to touch
Csus2 G D/F#
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus
Em Dsus4
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
Csus2 G D/F#
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
Em Dsus4 Csus2 G
Oh, every day we'd found a way out of the window to sneak out late
G Em
She used to meet me on the Eastside
Dsus4 Csus2
In the city where the sun don't set
G Em
And every saturday you know that we ride
Dsus4 Csus2
Through the city in a blue Corvette
G Em Dsus4
You know I just wanna leave tonight
Csus2
We can go anywhere we want
G Em Dsus4
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
Csus2
Just take my hand and come with me, singing
Em Dsus4
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Csus2 G D/F#
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
Em Dsus4
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
Csus2 G D/F#
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Em Dsus4
So come away, starting today
Csus2
Start a new life, together in a different place
Em Dsus4
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
Csus2 C
So baby, run away, away with me
{2002 - Anne Marie - same strumming pattern just slow down}
Csus2 G
And I will always remember
G G
The day you kissed my lips
D/F# Em
Light as a feather
Em Em
And it went just like this
Dsus4 Csus2
No, it's never been better
Dsus4 G G D/F# Em
Than the summer of 2002 (ooh)
Em Dsus4
Dancing on the hood in the middle of the woods
Csus2 G
of an old Mustang, where we sang
Csus2 Dsus4
Songs with all our childhood friends
Dsus4
And it went like this, say {Swap Strumming Pattern}
Csus2 G Dsus4 Em
Oops, I got 99 problems singing bye, bye, bye
C G
Hold up, if you wanna go and take a ride with me
Dsus4 Em
Better hit me, baby, one more time, uh
Csus2 G
Paint a picture for you and me
Dsus4 Em
On the days when we were young
Csus2 Dsus4
Singing at the top of both our lungs
**Cold Water**
Em Dsus4 Csus2 G
And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
C G Dsus4
Into cold, cold water for you
Em Csus2 Dsus4 G
And although time may take us into different places
Csus2 Dsus4
I will still be patient with you
Am7
And I hope you know
C
I won't let go
**Little Things**
G
Cause Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
Csus2
Bear this in mind: It was meant to be
Em Dsus4
And I'm joinin' up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
Csus2 Dsus4 G Am7
And it all makes sense to me
Am7 Csus2 G Dsus4
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
Am7 Csus2 G Dsus4
But if I do, it's you, oh, it's you, they add up to
Am7 Csus2
I'm in love with you and all these little things
**Love Yourself**
G D/F# Em
For all the times that you rained on my parade
Csus2 G Dsus4
And all the clubs you get in using my name
G D/F# Em
You think you broke my heart, oh girl, for goodness' sake
Csus2 G Dsus4
You think I'm cryin' on my own, well, I ain't
G D/F#
And I didn't wanna write a song
Em
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
Csus2 Dsus4
I don't, but you still hit my phone up
G D/F#
And baby, I'll be movin' on
Em C
And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back
Dsus4
Maybe you should know that
Em Csus2 G
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
Em Csus2 G
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
Em Csus2 G D/F#
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
Csus2 Cadd9 G
But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own
G D/F# Em
Cause if you like the way you look that much
Csus2 G Dsus2 G
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
G D/F# Em C
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin
G D/F# C
You should go and love yourself
**Instrumental**
G D/F# Em C G Dsus4 G 2x
G D/F# Em C
Cause if you like the way you look that much
G Dsus4 G
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
G D/F# Em C
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin
G D/F# C
You should go and love yourself
G D/F# Em C
Cause if you like the way you look that much
G Dsus4 G
Oh baby, you should go and F**k yourself
