(Verse 1)
She was j[G]ust a year ahead of me
But that [Am]meant so much back then, you see
When the [D]high school boys caught w[Em]ind of m[C]e
They th[G]rew me in the m[D]ud
(Verse 2)
And I fought my way to the car that night
And I cursed the water, and I cursed the light
But I learned to swim, and I learned to fight
For the things that mean the most
[C/G]And oh,
Sweet S[D]amantha dear, I [G]know it's been [C]so many years
And I h[D]ope that they have been k[Em]ind, my [C]friend
9Oh, I [G]think about you [D]now and then
W[Am]hen the sun is sinking [Em]low
O[Am]ver the docks by the sh[Em]ore
W[Am]here I laid up in green fields wi[D]th you
Singing o[C]nly the songs that we kn[G]ew
Singing o[C]nly the songs that we kn[G]ew
Singing o[C]nly the songs that we kn[G]ew
She was j[G]ust a year ahead of me
But that [Am]meant so much back then, you see
When the [D]high school boys caught w[Em]ind of m[C]e
They th[G]rew me in the m[D]ud
(Verse 2)
And I fought my way to the car that night
And I cursed the water, and I cursed the light
But I learned to swim, and I learned to fight
