[C] [G] [D]
[C]Tell me you that you love me, [G]say we’ll always work [D]it out
[C]I know it’s kinda scary, but [G]it’s only [D]temporary doubt
I’ve done a [C]lot of stupid [G]things
But [D]promise that you’re [Em]gonna stay long [C]enough, [D]to grow old [G]with me


We’re [C]gonna see the good times, [G]love each other through the [D]bad
It’s [C]gonna hurt like hell, when [G]we lose our mom’s and [D]dad’s
So let my [C]shoulder hold [G]your tears, walk [D]beside me through the [Em]years
[C]Baby let’s see [D]where this [G]love can lead


[C]Let’s hold hands [G]on your favorite beach
[D]Fix up a house that we [Em]found in the city limits, [C]tangled up in [G]a satin sheet
And [D]get a little loud when [Em]we’ve had too much to drink, [C]and learn to love from a [G]church pew
[D]Laugh about all the [Em]times we counted pennies, [C]buy some land with a [G]good view
To start a [Em] [D] [C]family, [D]baby grow old with me [C] [G] [D]


It’s gonna [C]take a little time, we’ll have [G]to work at it [D]everyday
We’re [C]gonna lose a lot of sleep, and learn [G]to eat out of a [D]microwave
Know we’ll [C]probably never have it [G]all
But that’s part of [D]building up [Em]the walls, strong [C]enough [D]to stand up through the [G]rain


[C]We’ll make some love [G]on your favorite beach, [D]add to the house that we [Em]found in the city limits
[C]Talk our babies [G]through the bad dreams, when they [D]get a little older we’ll [Em]tell them not to drink
[C]Book a church when [G]she finds a groom, [D]laugh about all the [Em]times they’ll count the pennies
[C]Give ’em land with a [G]good view, to start a [Em] [D] [C]family, [D]baby you know we might


[C]Take a turn down a bad road, [G]maybe go where the wind blows baby
But [Bb]end up right where we were meant [D]to be, yeah


[C]Back and forth on [G]a porch swing, [D]hard not to smile thinking [Em]
How it don’t get much better, [C]our baby’s babies [G]turning 18
What a [Em] [D] [C]family, [D]baby grow old with me [C] [G]
[D]Baby grow old with me [C] [G] [D]baby grow old with [C]me, [G]yeah
[C]Tell me you that you love me, [G]say we’ll always work it [D]out
