[C] [G] [D] [C] [G] [D]
She was [C]sitting all alone [G]over on the [D]tailgate, tan legs swinging by a Georgia plate
I was [C]looking for her [G]boyfriend, thinking, no way she ain’t got [D]one
Soon [C]as I sat down I was [G]falling in love, trying to [D]pour a little sugar in her [Em]Dixie [D]cup
Talking [C]over the speakers in the [G]back of that truck, she [D]jumped up and cut me off


She was like, [C]oh my God, [G]this is my song, I’ve been [D]listening to the radio all [Em]night [D]long
[C]Sitting around waiting [G]for it to come on and [D]here it is
She was like, [C]come here boy, [G]I wanna dance, before [D]I said a word, she [Em]was taking my [D]hand
[C]Spinning me around [G]’til it faded [D]out, and she gave me a kiss
And she said, [C]play it again, [G]play it again, [D]play it again
And I said, [C]play it again, [G]play it again, [D]play it again


I’d [C]have gave that DJ [G]my last [D]dime, if he would have played it just one more time
But a [C]little while later, we were [G]sitting in the drive [D]in my truck
Before [C]I walked her to the door, I was [G]scanning like a fool [D]AM, [Em]FM, XM [D]too
But I [C]stopped real quick when I [G]heard that groove, [D]man, you should have seen her light up


She was like, [C]oh my God, [G]this is my song, I’ve been [D]listening to the radio all [Em]night [D]long
[C]Sitting around waiting [G]for it to come on and [D]here it is
She was like, [C]come here boy, [G]I wanna dance, before [D]I said a word, she [Em]was taking my [D]hand
[C]Spinning me around [G]’til it faded [D]out, and she gave me a kiss
And she said, [C]play it again, [G]play it again, [D]play it again
And I said, [C]play it again, [G]play it again, [D]play it again


The next [C]Friday [G]night we were [D]sitting out under the stars
You should have [C]seen her [G]smile when [D]I brought out my guitar


She was like, [C]oh my God, [G]this is my song, I’ve been [D]listening to the radio all [Em]night [D]long
[C]Sitting around waiting [G]for it to come on and [D]here it is
She was like, [C]come here boy, [G]I wanna dance, before [D]I said a word, she [Em]was taking my [D]hand
[C]Spinning me around [G]’til it faded [D]out, and she gave me a kiss
And she said, [C]play it again, [G]play it again, [D]play it again
And I said, [C]play it again, [G]play it again, [D]play it again


Yeah, [C]play it again, [G]play it again, [D]play it again [Em] [D]
Somebody, [C]play it again, [G]play it again, [D]play it again
