Intro:

F   F /A    A# 


Verse 1: Megan Moroney:
     F                            F /A  
Five girls in the mirror puttin' makeup on
        A# 
There's boys downstairs playin' drinkin' songs
        F                         F /A  
Circled up 'round a hand-me-down guitar
          A# 
Singin', "Oh-oh-oh"


Verse 2: Megan Moroney:
F                                 F /A  
Brand new boots that we're 'bout to break in
            A# 
Bought some nosebleed seats, summer money well spent
        F 
Parkin' lot, take a shot, steal a kiss
F /A                 A# 
And we're ready to go

Chorus: Megan Moroney:
          F                   F /A  
I see the lights, I hear the band
               A# 
Feels like the whole world's in our hands
           F                 F /A  
Soakin' it up, breathin' it in
              A# 
One day we'll say, "Remember when"
        Gm 
We were so alive
  F /A                         A# 
I swear that night there was magic in the air
           F         F /A    A# 
You had to be there


Verse 2: Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney:
      F                   F /A  
Seven years later, got a different point of view
      A# 
Got a sound check in ten and my own dressin' room
       F                         F /A  
Goin' 'round the world with the king of no shoes
          A# 
Singin', "Oh-oh-oh"
               F                      F /A  
Can't tell you how fast time's gonna fly by
          A# 
Keep your heart on your sleeve, and your chin held high
      F        F /A  
Baby, hold on tight
          A# 
Don't let go


Chorus: Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney, Megan Moroney & Kenny Chesney:
          F                   F /A  
I see the lights, I hear the band
               A# 
Feels like the whole world's in our hands
           F                 F /A  
Soakin' it up, breathin' it in
              A# 
One day we'll say, "Remember when"
        Gm 
We were so alive
  F /A                         A# 
I swear that night there was magic in the air
           F 
You had to be there
           A# 
You had to be there
               F     F /A    A# 
Oh, you had to be there

We made the memories, we've got the pictures
               A# 
But you had to be there
          F                      F /A  
You can't fake it, that kind of feelin'
           A# 
You had to be there
