[Verse]

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

Get in there!

[Verse]

    G                     C
I heard you married a stranger
                G                                C
In a horse and carriage that was covered with gold
            G                            D
Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in
                      Em                                    C
I wonder if you feel different at all now that you're older
      G                                C
Hope you didn't lose that innocent laughter
     G                                 C
Oh, God I hope time didn't take that away
     G                                       D
All those junior high nights underneath the front porch light
     Em                         C
A good Catholic girl during the day


[Chorus]

C   D    G        G/F#        Em
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C            D                    G       G/F#      Em
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
C   D    G        G/F#        Em
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
      C              D                    G
If I saw you today, girl I wouldn't even know ya


[Verse]

G                                             C
Well I know it wasn't that big of a love affair
   G                                  C
But boy, it sure seemed like one back then
        G                           D
When I parlay the memories into their proper places
        Em                              C
I can see now we were no more than friends
    G                        C
Ooh your kisses sure tasted sweet
   G                                C
But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen
G                                      D
I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol' man
Em                      C
As it seemed like it was to me


[Chorus]

C   D    G        G/F#        Em
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C             D       G           G/F#               Em
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
C   D      G      G/F#        Em
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
      C             D
If I saw you today
                          C      D
Girl, if I could be with you today
                    Em
I wouldn't even know ya
