D D/C# D/A Bm11 x2
πΈ Verse 1:
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Well I met you the summer we turned nineteen
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Hair was straight and your eyes were blue
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Well I remember them bein' all out of ice cream
D D/C# D/A Bm11
So we grabbed a case of beer and said that will do
G D/F# Em7
I still remember our first kiss
G D/F# Em7
Didn't ask permission, but you were glad I did
πΈ Chorus:
D D/C# D/A
Ain't it funny how life works out
Bm11 D/A D/F# G
One day you swear there ain't no doubt
G D/D Em7
I'm gonna wind up all alone
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Then one day fate finds you and she's standin there
D/A D/F# G
Pretty pink dress and boots
D/D Em7
And you think you found the one
G A
'Cause there ain't nothin' better
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Than a summertime love

D D/C# D/A Bm11
We spent 4th of July somewhere in East Texas
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Cold beer on sunburned lips never felt so good
D D/C# D/A
Skinny-dippin' in the creek
Bm11 D/A D/F#
All of my friends thought you were crazy
G D/D Em7
But it didn't stop them from joinin' in
G D/F# Em7
And I still miss them to this day
G D/F# Em7
If they were here, they'd agree when I say
πΈ Chorus:
D D/C# D/A
That ain't it funny how life works out?
Bm11 D/A D/F# G
One day you swear, there ain't no doubt
G D/D Em7
I'm gonna wind up all alone
D D/C# D/A
Then one day fate finds you
Bm11 D/A D/F#
And she's standing there, a black swimsuit
G D/D Em7
That's when you think you found the one
G A
'Cause there ain't nothin' better
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Than a summertime love
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Than a summertime love
πΈ Bridge:
C
I would be lyin'
G D
If I were to say that I didn't feel like dyin'
C C/B Am
The day you drove away
C G
But I know that I'll see your smiling face
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Come May
πΈ Chorus:
D D/C# D/A
And ain't it funny how life works out?

One day you swear there ain't no doubt

I'm gonna wind up all alone
D D/C# D/A
Then one day fate finds you
Bm11
And she's standin' there in

A wedding dress and boots

And you know

You found the one
G A
'Cause there ain't nothing better
D D/C# D/A Bm11
Than a summertime love
