Roy squeezed her hand, Alice smiled at him
    G                            F        G    C
The Senior Club Special is a lot food for them
                               F
They act like teenagers or the best of friends
       G                                F      G    C
With a hundred-eighty years between the two of them

                          F
Back during the war, at a wild country dance
   G                             F  G        C
He thought she'd ignore him, but he took the chance
                           F
And fifteen songs later he still held her close
      G                          F      G     C
And a million dances since then, hasn't been enough

They wear love like lightning
     C

Sit up on their sleeves

Alice nudges Roy and points with her spoon
      G                      F         G         C
There sits two young lovers across the crowded room
                                               F
“You can tell by their look” she say's, “kinda giddy and flushed”
        G                        F     G          C
And Roy grins wry and wicked and Alice smiled and blushed

Chorus:
     F
They wear love like lightning
     C
It's something to see
        G
And the years of their true love
               C         F C   F
Sit up on their sleeves

Verse:
    C                    F
Roy gets a little misty, Alice pats his hand
     G                           F       G   C
He's thinking 'bout the boy they lost in Vietnam
                                   F
And the girl he'd brought home and then left behind
    G                                  F        G        C
And forty years later, she still sends cards at Christmastime

Chorus:
     F
They wear love like lightning
     C
It's something to see
        G
And the years of their true love

Sit up on their sleeves

Roy said, "Remember, Alice, you almost burned your diary
          G                        F         G   C
All those poems and love letters I sent from overseas?”
                             F
And Alice says, “I couldn't, even though I tried
      G                               F      G     C
And I don't suppose the children will really be surprised”

Roy touched her face, Alice smiled at him
     G                              F   G       C
They bowed their heads a moment and whispered “Amen”
                                   F
If you look a little sideways, I'm not sure what it means
        G                          F      G       C
I could swear it was an angel that passed her the cream

Chorus:
     F
They wear love like lightning
     C
It's something to see
        G
And the years of their true love
               C
Sit up on their sleeves

Chorus:
     F
They wear love like lightning
     C
It's something to see
        G
And the years of their true love
               C
Sit up on their sleeves
        G
And the years of their true love
               C
Sit up on their sleeves
