[Intro]
G∣C∣G∣D
(A steady, driving acoustic guitar establishes the groove. A warm fiddle or pedal steel guitar rolls in on the D chord to set a reflective, late-night dance hall mood.)
[Verse 1]
G
Out there in the amber glow of the dance hall parking lot,
C
Chasing down a feeling that the years somehow forgot.
Em
Standing by her car, there were no words to say,
D C
Except "I'll see you when I see you" as she turned to walk away. l
Yeah I'lll see you when I see you......
[Chorus 1]
G
Her words kept playing like a song inside my head,
C
As the world went quiet and the neon faded out.
Em D/F# C
These two weathered hearts left no room for doubt,
Am D
Brought us here and now to the truth that we both saw.
G
When my lips met hers, those years just fell away,
C
Just like a melody the band finally learned to play.
Em D C
Yeah, it took us both a lifetime to cross that parking lot,
D G
But some lips were meant to meet and tie the perfect knot.
[Verse 2]
G
We both got histories etched into these hearts,
C
Knowing we've been broken has left us both on guard.
Em
But looking at her underneath that Texas sky,
C D
The past just didn’t matter, and I didn't have to ask her why.
[Bridge]
C
The band inside could stop playing every song,
G D
But we hear the music that keeps moving us along.
Am
Just a slow, steady sway to that perfect sound,
D
Of this brand new music our hearts have finally found.
[Chorus 2]
G
Those words kept playing like a song inside my head,
C
As the world went quiet and the neon faded out.
Em D/F# C
These two weathered hearts left no room for doubt,
Am D
Brought us here and now to the truth that we both saw.
G
When my lips met hers, those years just fell away,
C
Just like a melody the band finally learned to play.
Em D C
Yeah, it took us both a lifetime to cross that parking lot,
D G
But some lips were meant to meet and tie the perfect knot.
[Outro]
G
Right there in the amber glow...
C
Yeah, it took a lifetime to cross that lot.
Em D C
But some lips were meant to meet...
D G
Yeah, they went and tied the perfect knot.
(The band lets the final G chord ring out clean, with a slow, fading pedal steel swell to close it out.)
