Capo 1st fret


Intro:

Cmaj7    F


Verse 1:
           C
Long story short
C

I met her in a record store
             F
She was in a sundress I was there holding the door
                C
Fell apart when she walked in
                       F
And it got me thinking where you've been
F
All blurry-eyed and slow
C
Oh, oh
             F
It had to be you


Chorus:
                           G
And just like that we were dancing
           Am7
Out in the moon light
             F
Spending the long summer nights
                           G
Talking about nothing over red wine
             Am7
Watching the time fly
        F
Now I'm wishing I could buy a little more
                 G  Am7
'Cause we made a long
      F
Story short
           C
Long story short


Verse 2:
C
I wanted a simple life
                F
She was chasing big dreams didn't try to change her mind
                    C
'Til one day I said she come back
                        F
And we made the most of what we had


Chorus:
                           G
And just like that we were dancing
           Am7
Out in the moon light
             F
Spending the long summer nights
                           G
Talking about nothing over red wine
             Am7
Watching the time fly
        F
Now I'm wishing I could buy a little more
                 G  Am7
'Cause we made a long
      F
Story short
                 G  Am7
'Cause we made a long
      F
Story short


Bridge:
F
Yeah
                 G
Could've been forever
                      Am7
She could've been the one
              F                    G
Maybe there's something I could've done
G
To keep us together
               Am7
Held on to her more
            F
But I guess that's what memories are for


Interlude:
Cmaj7   F


Out-Chorus:
                            G
Yeah just like that we were dancing
           Am7
Out in the moon light
             F
Spending the long summer nights
                           G
Talking about nothing over red wine
             Am7
Watching the time fly
        F
Now I'm wishing I could buy a little more
                 G  Am7
'Cause we made a long
      F
Story short
              G  Am7
And we made a long
      F
Story short
F
Oh oh
