See you when I see you

C | F | C | G

(A steady, driving acoustic guitar establishes the groove. A warm fiddle or pedal steel guitar rolls in on the G chord to set a reflective, late-night dance hall mood.)

C

Out there in the amber glow of the dance hall parking lot,

F

Chasing down a feeling that the years somehow forgot.

Am

Standing by her car, there were no words to say,

G F

Except "I'll see you when I see you" as she turned to walk away.

G C

Yeah, I'll see you when I see you...

C

Those words kept playing like a song inside my head,

(Background Female Vocals: See you when I see you...)

F

As the world went quiet and the neon faded out.

Am G/B F

These two weathered hearts left no room for doubt,

Dm G

Brought us here and now to the truth that we both saw.

C

When my lips met hers, those years just fell away,

F

Just like a melody the band finally learned to play.

Am G F

Yeah, it took us both a lifetime to cross that parking lot,

G C

But some lips were meant to meet and tie the perfect knot.

C

We both got histories etched into these hearts,

F

Knowing we've been broken has left us standing here apart.

Am

But looking at her underneath that Texas sky,

F G

The past just didn’t matter, and I didn't have to ask her why.

F

The band inside could stop playing every song,

C G

But we hear the music that keeps moving us along.

Dm

Just a slow, steady sway to that perfect sound,

G

Of this brand new music our hearts have finally found.

C

Those words kept playing like a song inside my head,

(Background Female Vocals: See you when I see you...)

F

As the world went quiet and the neon faded out.

Am G/B F

These two weathered hearts left no room for doubt,

Dm G

Brought us here and now to the truth that we both saw.

C

When my lips met hers, those years just fell away,

F

Just like a melody the band finally learned to play.

Am G F

Yeah, it took us both a lifetime to cross that parking lot,

G C

But some lips were meant to meet and tie the perfect knot.

C

Right there in the amber glow...

(Female Vocals Echo: Right there in the amber glow...)

F

Yeah, it took a lifetime to cross that lot.

Am G F

But some lips were meant to meet...

G C

(Male & Female Vocals Together in Harmony):

Yeah, they went and tied the perfect knot.

(The band lets the final C chord ring out clean, with a slow, fading pedal steel swell to close it out.)
