Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Do [Bm]you r[B5]emem[Bm]ber the story[G]
[D]of [G]the boy and his first date?
She took [Bm]him to the lake
[G]and he [D]fell [G]in love.
[Bm]She spent one summer w[G]aking
up between his arms.
She told [Bm]him how good that felt,
told him he was [G]the [A]one.

[Verse 2]
And [G]then she went away,
[A]his calls were not returned.
[D]He went to see her[C#] but her[G] eyes w[Bm]ere
[G]burn[A]ing [G]a different stare.
The focus was somewhere [D]else.
And that feel[Em]ing h[D]ad some
[F#m]how di[G]sappeared.
[Bm]Do

[Verse 3]
you remember when they
[G]both drove out of state?
Stealing [Bm]kisses behind her cousins [G]back,
[D]With [G]a love so strong tell me who
could wait
When it seem[A]s so right [G]and it feels so right,
man, [D]it had to be right.
When [A]it seems so right and it feels [G]so right,
man, [D]it had to be right.

[Interlude 1]
Gotta be right
[D][G][D][G][Bm]
[D][C#][G][Bm][D][G]

[Verse 4]
When [A]it seems so [G]right [D]and [A]it [G]feels so right,
man, [D]it had to be right.
But then she [Bm]went away and
she's not [A]coming back
And [G]I'm pretty sure that
boy is staying in tonight.
