| G          | C          | D
    Maybe your momma didn't treat you right;

| Am          | %                        | Em | Em D
    Maybe her intentions weren't even very good

| G          | C         | D
    Maybe your daddy laid awake at night

| Am            | %                        | Em  | Em D
    Imagining himself in some other neighbourhood

| C                 | G   | C                     | G
    Left to our own devices - like maybe they were, too

| C               | G                        | B7
    Out on the open road and wondering what to do

    You ask how we got here: baby, don't ask   how

| Em              | D                 | C  | G
    'Cause that was sometime other than now

| G                | C                       | D
   "It takes what it takes" - that's what they told us girl

| Am            | %                           | Em | Em D
    Done a lot of dumb things, probably do some more


| G                | C                    | D
    On two different paths running round on different worlds

| Am                    | %                          Em | Em D
    We finally found each other, who we were looking for

| C              | G       | C                     | G
    I see my own reflection    and I give my love to you

| C                    | G                    | B7
    It shot back like an arrow, so straight and true

| Am                                             Em  | Em D
    It's followed us around since we were little kids

| G             | C                | D
    Just a little faith, baby, baby, some day

| Am               | %                            Em  | Em D

| C                   | G     | C                     | G
    Don't come all of a sudden,   but when it's here at last

| C                       | G                    | B7

    Yeah, that was sometime other than now
