Verse 1:
Em C D G
She was only sixteen when she started

Breakin' hearts on summer breaks in the Outer Banks

I was workin' for her dad in Charlotte
G Em C D
I never saw a single beach, but I can still see her face
Pre-Chorus:
G Em C D
And now I'm back again

'Cross the border over from TN
D G Em C
A taste of summer on the salty wind
D G Em C
I think about her and what could've been
D
I should've said
Chorus:
G Em C D G
Come on, baby, before you rip me apart

Could you find a little lovin' in your Carolina heart?

If it ain't me, who's gonna play that part?

Could you find a little lovin' in your Carolina heart?
Em C D G Em C D
Come on, baby
Verse 2:
G Em C D G
Now she's twenty-nine, a lawyer up in Chapel Hill

In another league, but she's killin' 'em just the same

And I pull into Durham with the Bonnevilles
G Em C D G
I ask around and they all know her by her name
Pre-Chorus:
Em C
And here I go again
D G Em C
Reminiscin' while I sip some Jim
D G Em C
Some liquid courage for the shape I'm in
D G Em C
This might be the only chance I get
D
I'm goin' in
Chorus:
G Em C D G
Come on, baby, before you rip me apart

Could you find a little lovin' in your Carolina heart?

Come on, baby
Outro:

Said I need you out in Raleigh, baby, I ain't sorry

Waited all night up in Chapel Hill

Drove back out to Charlotte, home is where the heart is
Em C D G Em C D
Don't you know I love you and I always will?
G Em C D
Come on, baby
G Em C D G Em G D G
Come on, baby
