[G] [C] [G] [C]
A [G]40 HP [C]Johnson on a [G]flat bottom metal [C]boat
[G]Coke cans and [C]BB guns, barbed [G]wire and old fence [D]posts
[G]8-point bucks in [C]autumn and [G]freshly cut [C]cornfields
[G]One arm out the [C]window and [G]one hand on the [D]wheel


Some things just [G]go better [C]together and [G]probably always [C]will
Like a cup of [G]coffee and a [C]sunrise, Sunday [Em]drives and time to [D]kill
What’s the [G]point of this old [C]guitar if [G]it ain’t got no [C]strings?
Or [G]pouring your heart [C]into a song that [Em]you ain’t gonna [D]sing?
It’s a [G]match made up in [C]heaven, like [Em]good old boys and [D]beer
And [C]me, as long as [D]you’re right here


[G] [C] [G] [C]
Your [G]license in my [C]wallet when [G]we go out [C]downtown
Your [G]lipstick’s stained every [C]coffee cup that [G]I got in this [D]house
The [G]way you say, “I [C]love you, too” is like [G]rain on an old tin [C]roof
And your [G]hand fits right [C]into mine like a [G]needle in a [D]groove


Some things just [G]go better [C]together and [G]probably always [C]will
Like a cup of [G]coffee and a [C]sunrise, Sunday [Em]drives and time to [D]kill
What’s the [G]point of this old [C]guitar if [G]it ain’t got no [C]strings?
Or [G]pouring your heart [C]into a song that [Em]you ain’t gonna [D]sing?
It’s a [G]match made up in [C]heaven, like [Em]good old boys and [D]beer
And [C]me, as long as [D]you’re right here


[G] [C] [G] [C]
[G]Sometimes we’re oil and [C]water, but I wouldn’t [Em]have it any other [C]way
And [G]if I’m being [C]honest, your [Em]first and my last [D]name


Would just [G]sound better [C]together and [G]probably always [C]will
Like a cup of [G]coffee and a [C]sunrise, Sunday [Em]drives and time to [D]kill
What’s the [G]point of this old [C]guitar if [G]it ain’t got no [C]strings?
Or [G]pouring your heart [C]into a song that [Em]you ain’t gonna [D]sing?
It’s a [G]match made up in [C]heaven, like [Em]good old boys and [D]beer
And [C]me, as long as [D]you’re right [G]here [C]
And [C]me, as long as [D]you’re right [G]here
