Verse:
G+G
Where did the time go? I swear
  E minorEm
It was last week, at most last year
  C majorC               D MajorD
The face that I see in the mirror
D MajorD
Really can't be me

Verse:
   G+G
This town can talk, and just because

But stupid is as stupid does
 C majorC                 D MajorD
We have but one or two great loves
D MajorD
Why would I regret?

Chorus:
 G+G         C majorC
I was the girl you almost married
  G+G          C majorC
When hopes were high and eyes were starry
  G+G          C majorC
You lay me down in the tallest grass
     D MajorD
When the sun was going down
    G+G        C majorC
In the shadow of the thunderstorm
    G+G        C majorC
My hair tangled in your sunburned arms
  E minorEm       C majorC
You crazy for my wildest charms
D MajorD
That summer before the fall

Instrumental:

So willingly lead astray

Most women know but they’ll never say

You lay me down in the tallest grass
     D MajorD
When the sun was going down
    G+G        C majorC
In the shadow of the thunderstorm
    G+G        C majorC
My hair tangled in your sunburned arms

That summer before the fall

Bridge:
     E minorEm
On steamy nights in mid July
       C majorC
Through dusty windows and stormy skies
       E minorEm              D MajorD
I lean on the counter and I close my eyes

Verse:
  G+G
Who knows how far a good deed flies
    E minorEm
Or the speed of light to reach our eyes
 C majorC                D MajorD
Or when we shouldn't question why

Chorus:
 G+G         C majorC
I was the girl you almost married

In the shadow of the thunderstorm

My hair tangled in your sunburned arms

You crazy for my wildest charms

That summer before the fall
