Intro: C Am F G
C Am
You said the way my blue eyes shined
F
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
G
I said, that's a lie
C Am
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
F
That had a tendency of getting stuck
G
On backroads at night
PreChorus:
F C
And I was right there beside him all summer long
F G
And then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone
C
But when you think, Tim McGraw
Am
I hope you think my favorite song
F
The one we danced to all night long
G
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
C
When you think happiness
Am
I hope you think, that little black dress
F
Think of my head on your chest
G
And my old faded blue jeans
F
When you think Tim McGraw
C
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thanking God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
And looking back on all of that
It's nice to believe
When you think, Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think, that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
An' my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Bridge:
F
And I'm back for the first time since then
C
I'm standing on your street
F
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
G
And the first thing that you'll read
Is, when you think, Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Some day you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think, that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me
Mmmm
You said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, that's a lie
