CAPO: 3rd FRET
Intro
G Am C
[Verso 1]
G Am
I should remember them tears in the parking lot light
C
October, cold shoulder, sitting shotgun side
G Am
One too many reasons there that night
C
For a last time goodbye hurt
G Am
I should be thinking 'bout the sound of the slamming car doors
C
The way that she said, "You can't do this no more"
G
Taping up boxes labeled "mine" or "yours"
C
But that ain't how my memory works
[Refrão]
G Am
The way I see you is with a sunkissed smile
C G
That first kiss fire, heart beating in my Carhartt T-shirt
Am C
On the Carolina coast, your blonde hair just blowing in the wind
G Am
Back when we threw around "forever" and we meant it
C
Can't say I regret it even after all we've been through
Em D C
I tried to move on just like we were nothing to lose
G Am C
But I was still in love with the way I see you
[Verso 2]
G Am
Crazy I told you, "Go and have a good life"
C
Now I'm sitting here wishing that you weren't missing from mine
G Am
But time has a way of changing minds, telling lies
C
Painting us in a rose-colored light
[Refrão]
G Am
'Cause the way I see you is with a sunkissed smile
C G
That first kiss fire, heart beating in my Carhartt T-shirt
Am C
On the Carolina coast, your blonde hair just blowing in the wind

I tried to move on just like we were nothing to lose
G Am C
But I was still in love with the way I see you
[Ponte]
Em D
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
C
My mind's playing tricks on me
Em D
Pictures of you-ou-ou-ou
C
Making it look like we're meant to be
[Refrão]

The way I see you is with a sunkissed smile

That first kiss fire, heart beating in my Carhartt T-shirt
