[INTRO]
A E B C#m
[VERSE ONE]
A E
You'd be my firework memory burned in my mind
B C#m B
You'd be my sneakin' out, windows down midnight drive
A E B
I'd be your runnin' late, made you wait Friday night
B C#m
And I could say you were the right person, wrong time
A E
You'd still be that Chesney song, still have your Texas T shirt
B C#m
Still smile when I hear your name if we'da just stayed
[CHORUS]
A E B
A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner
B C#m A
Cherry Coke mixed with somethin' that we stole from your brother
A E
Just a July goodbye
B C#m
Instead of knowin' how it ends, we would always get to wonder
A E B
Coulda just stayed the ones that got away for each other
C#m A
If we'da just stayed a summer
E B C#m
We shoulda stayed a summer
[VERSE TWO]
A E
Wouldn't know how bad we'd fight two drinks in, Two AM
B C#m
Wouldn't know how good you lie, wouldn't know how jealous I get
A E
Wouldn't hate that Chesney song or torn up your Texas T shirt
B C#m
It wouldn't hurt when I hear your name if we'da just stayed
[CHORUS]
A E B
A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner
B C#m A
Cherry Coke mixed with somethin' that we stole from your brother
A E
Just a July goodbye
B C#m
Instead of knowin' how it ends, we would always get to wonder
A E B
Coulda just stayed the ones that got away for each other
C#m A
If we'da just stayed a summer
E B C#m
We shoulda stayed a summer
[BRIDGE]
A E B C#m
Shoulda just, shoulda just, shoulda just stayed a summer, mm mm
A E B
Coulda just, coulda just, coulda just stayed a summer
B
If we'da just stayed
[CHORUS]
A E B
A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner
B C#m A
Cherry Coke mixed with somethin' that we stole from your brother
A E
Just a July goodbye
B C#m
Instead of knowin' how it ends, we would always get to wonder
A E B
Coulda just stayed the ones that got away for each other
C#m A
If we'da just stayed a summer
E B C#m
We shoulda stayed a summer
[OUTRO]
Should've been nothin' more than a summer
