[Verse]
G+G C majorC
I was watching a movie the other night on T. V.
G+G C majorC
The actress reminded me of you
G+G D MajorD
Her attitude, the way that she smiled
E minorEm C majorC
She was doing a part girl, like you used to do
G+G C majorC
I do believe you played it better
G+G C majorC
If it wasn't better, it was just as strong
G+G D MajorD
I would've called you up on the telephone that night
E minorEm C majorC
But somehow girl, it'd been all wrong
Get in there!

[Verse]
G+G C majorC
I heard you married a stranger
G+G C majorC
In a horse and carriage that was covered with gold
G+G D MajorD
Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in
E minorEm C majorC
I wonder if you feel different at all now that you're older
G+G C majorC
Hope you didn't lose that innocent laughter
G+G C majorC
Oh, God I hope time didn't take that away
G+G D MajorD
All those junior high nights underneath the front porch light
E minorEm C majorC
A augmentedA good Catholic girl during the day
[Chorus]
C majorC D MajorD G+G G/F# E minorEm
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C majorC D MajorD G+G G/F# E minorEm
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
C majorC D MajorD G+G G/F# E minorEm
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C majorC D MajorD G+G
If I saw you today, girl I wouldn't even know ya
[Verse]
G+G C majorC
Well I know it wasn't that big of a love affair
G+G C majorC
But boy, it sure seemed like one back then
G+G D MajorD
When I parlay the memories into their proper places
E minorEm C majorC
I can see now we were no more than friends
G+G C majorC
Ooh your kisses sure tasted sweet
G+G C majorC
But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen
G+G D MajorD
I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol' man
E minorEm C majorC
As it seemed like it was to me
[Chorus]
C majorC D MajorD G+G G/F# E minorEm
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C majorC D MajorD G+G G/F# E minorEm
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
C majorC D MajorD G+G G/F# E minorEm
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C majorC D MajorD
If I saw you today
C majorC D MajorD
Girl, if I could be with you today
E minorEm
I wouldn't even know ya
