Intro
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Verse
You were in college working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
Pre-Chorus
I say can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I could see it
yes, yes, I can see it now
Chorus
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Verse
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learned my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded?
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
Pre-Chorus
We got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take, yes yes
This is what I thought about
Chorus
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D Em D (C)
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D Em D (C)
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Interlude
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Bridge
And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM
'Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Pre-Chorus
Brace myself for the goodbye
Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said I'll never leave you alone
Chorus
You said, "I remember how we felt sittin' by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
D (C)
She is the best thing that's ever been mine
Outro
Hold on, make it last
Hold on, never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
(Yeah, yeah) Do you believe it?
(Yeah, yeah, hey) we’re gonna make it now
(Yeah, yeah, hey) and I can see it
Yeah, yeah (And I can see it now, see it now, see it now)
