American Love Story Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
They said I was nothing,
but a troublemaker
Never up to no good
You were the perfect All-
American girl
Wouldn't [C]touch me even if [G]you could
But you was sneaking out your window
every night, riding shotgun in my car
We'd go to the river and find us a
spot and we probably went a little too far
Just a little too [C]far

[Verse 2]
'Cause [G]I was gonna be [C]your forever
[Dsus4]You were gonna be my [C]wife
[G]We didn't know any [C]better
[D]Didn't have a [G]clue about [C]life
But [G]I was what you wanted,
[C]you were what I needed
And [Dsus4]we could meet [D]in between[C]
[G]We were gonna be the [C]greatest love
story this [D]town had [G]ever seen

[Verse 3]
[C][G]
So you went off to college and I got a job
I was workin' [C]that 9 to [G]5
Dreamin' of the days when [D]you were
in my [G]arms, I had never felt so alive
I spent my days workin',
[D]spent my nights [G]drinkin'
[C]Howlin' at the [G]moon
Screaming for the days
when you were coming back
No it [C]couldn't come too [G]soon
Couldn't come too [C]soon

[Verse 4]
When [G]I was gonna be [C]your forever
And [D]you were gonna be my [C]wife
But [G]you went off to find [C]better
[D]and I was learning all about l[C]ife
But [G]I was what you wanted,
[C]you were what I needed
And [G]we could meet [C]in between
[G]We were gonna be the [C]greatest love story
this [D]town had [G]ever seen
[C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[C][G]
So you came back after a long four years
Your college boyfriend didn't work out
So we went out for a couple of drinks
to find out who we are now
Sure, we changed but way deep down
you had the same old feelings for me
I went to the store and I bought [D]you
[G]a ring and I got down on one knee
Down on one [C]knee

[Verse 6]
And I said
[G]I'm gonna be your [C]forever
So [D]baby will you be my [C]wife
[G]Now that we know a little [C]better,
we [D]could have a real nice [C]life
'Cause [G]I'm what you wanted,
[C]you're what I need
So [G]let's meet in [C]between
[G]We are gonna be the [C]greatest love
story this [D]town has [G]ever seen

[Verse 7]
[G]We are gonna be the greatest love
story this [C]world has [G]ever seen
So [C]baby say yes to me
