[D] [Em] [G] [A] [D] [Em] [G] [A]
I was [D]riding shotgun with my [Em]
hair undone in the [G]front seat of his [A]car
He’s got a [D]one-hand feel on [Em]the steering wheel
The [G]other on [A]my heart
[D]I look around, turn the [Em]radio down
He says [G]baby is something [A]wrong?
I [D]say nothing I was [Em]just thinking how [G]we don’t have a [A]song
And he says…


[D]Our song is the [Em]slamming screen door,
[G]Sneaking out late, tapping [A]on your window
[D]When you’re on the [Em]phone and you talk [G]real slow
Cause it’s [A]late and your mama don’t [D]know
Our song is the [Em]way you laugh
The [G]first date “man, I didn’t [A]kiss her, but I should have”
[Em]And when I got [A]home, before I said [Em]amen
Asking [D]God if [G]he could play it again


[D] [Em] [G] [A]
[D]I was walking up the [Em]front porch steps after [G]everything [A]that day
Had [D]gone all wrong or been [Em]trampled on
And [G]lost and thrown [A]away
[D]Got to the hallway, [Em]well on my way [G]to my loving [A]bed
I [D]almost didn’t notice [Em]all the roses
[G]And the note [A]that said…


[D]Our song is the [Em]slamming screen door,
[G]Sneaking out late, tapping [A]on your window
[D]When you’re on the [Em]phone and you talk [G]real slow
Cause it’s [A]late and your mama don’t [D]know
Our song is the [Em]way you laugh
The [G]first date “man, I didn’t [A]kiss her, but I should have”
[Em]And when I got [A]home, before I said [Em]amen
Asking [D]God if [G]he could play it again


[D] [Em] [G] [A]Da da da da [D] [Em] [G] [A]
I’ve [Em]heard every album, listened [G]to the radio
[D]Waited for [A]something to [Em]come along
That was as [G]good as our song


[D]Cause our song is the [Em]slamming screen door
[G]Sneaking out late, tapping [A]on his [D]window
When we’re on the [Em]phone and he talks real [G]slow
Cause it’s [A]late and his mama don’t [D]know
Our song is the [Em]way he laughs
The [G]first date “man, I didn’t [A]kiss him, and I could have”
[Em]And when I got [A]home, before I said [Em]amen
Asking [D]God if [G]he could play it a[D]ga[Em]in. [G] [A]
Play it [D]again [Em] [G] [A]oh [D]yeah [Em] [G] [A]yeah


I was [D]riding shotgun with my [Em]hair undone
In the [G]front seat of his [A]car
[D]I grabbed a pen and an [Em]old napkin
And [G]I, wrote down our song…
