Am   F   Gx2
[Verse 1]
AmCouldn't be a fancy Asus4dancin' Amgirl and it Fcouldn't be an Galso-ran
AmCouldn't be my mother Asus4cryin' Amsoftly after Fhearin' from my old Gman
AmCouldn't be the guitar Asus4player Amwailin' even Fthough I really liked the Gband
Had to be Amyou
Had to be Amyou
[Verse 2]
AmCouldn't be the nights with the Asus4drinkin' Amcrowd when it was Ftoo late to be too Gyoung
AmCouldn't be the nights with the Asus4early Amflights when every Fmornin' meant time to Grun
AmOld men just never Asus4talkin' aAmbout it, always Fsayin' I was much too Gyoung
Had to be Amyou
Had to be Amyou
[Chorus]
DmWhat you gonna do if you Dm7ever find out we're AmwrongG  
Just come D7crashin' down like Athunder
There's a Dmdanger sign that says we've Dm7had too much too AmlongG  
You go D7rollin' like a Alandslide
Lady ELuck'll be cryin'
And if E7I ain't dead you know I'm gonna be dyin'
[Verse 3]
AmCouldn't be the days with the Asus4guitar Amcraze when I Fnever knew right from Gwrong
AmCouldn't be my friend beAsus4hind the Ambar who kept it Fopen just a little too Glong
Like a Amhundred other Asus4magic Ammoments darlin' when you're Fthere to find another Gsong
Had to be Amyou
Had to be Amyou
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
DmWhat you gonna do if you Dm7ever find out we're AmwrongG  
Just come D7crashin' down like Athunder

You go D7rollin' like a Alandslide
Lady ELuck'll be cryin'
And if E7I ain't dead you know I'm gonna be dyin'
[Verse 4]
AmCouldn't be the Asus4real-life Ammovie night when I Fstole one teenage Gkiss
AmCouldn't even match stayin' Asus4out all Amnight when the Fmornin' smelled just like Gthis

Had to be Amyou
Had to be Amyou
