(No Capo)
Intro.:  |(G) |(G) |(C) |(C) ---
(C) We were young, it was summer, just a little town on the edge of the water
(D) I've never been down there before, I met ya, pickin' up shells on that seashore
(C) Your smile was pulling me under, (D)then ya said your name, and it was game over
(Chorus)
(G) Yeah girl, I fell so far in love with you
(D/F#) 'Cause I told my heart I had nothing to lose
(Em) When time ain't on your side, you're (C)wonderin' which kiss is gonna (D)mean goodbye
(G) And I opened up and threw all my love your way
(D/F#) Said words to you I'd never heard me say
I just sat (Em) there that night and let your Car-(D)olina eyes pull me in (C)
'Cause I never thought I'd see you again (G)
If (C)I'd only known a feeling like that, would hit me once and it'd never come back
(D) I'd of gone ahead and made you mine, instead of trying to move on and wasting my time
(C) Looking for what I already found a (D)few years back in that little beach town
(Chorus)
(G) Yeah girl, I fell so far in love with you
(D/F#) 'Cause I told my heart I had nothing to lose
(Em) When time ain't on your side, you're (C)wonderin' which kiss is gonna (D)mean goodbye
(G) And I opened up and threw all my love your way
(D/F#) Said words to you I'd never heard me say
I just sat (Em) there that night and let your Car-(D)olina eyes pull me in (C)
'Cause I never thought I'd see you again (Em) (G)
Is it (Em)luck running into you so unex-(C)pectedly
Or (Em)is it fate that (D)put you here in (C)front of me
(Chorus)
(G) Did you know I fell so far in love with you?
(D/F#) Yeah, I told my heart that I had nothing to lose
(Em) 'Cause time wasn't on our side, we were (C)wonderin' which kiss was gonna (D)mean goodbye
(G) And I opened up and threw all my love your way
(D/F#) Said words to you I'd never heard me say
Gonna sit (Em) here tonight and let those Car-(D)olina eyes pull me in (C)
'Cause I never thought I'd see you, but it's so good to see you again
