Intro - A5 - E5 - A5 
 
 
(verse 1) 
     A5                      
Her name was Madelyn Connors,   
    D5         E5             A5  
And I am the man that she picked, 
                  D5                         A5  
She watched her daddy's money built their house on the hill, 
       D5                      E5   
And watched me and my daddy laying every brick, 
 
(verse 2) 
     A5                        
Her dad couldn't see us together,   
          D5         E5         A5   
And the truth is neither did mine, 
                D5                        A5             D5             
They couldn't know from the very first time that we kissed, 
    A5            E5         A5        
We knew in our hearts we rhyme, 
 
(chorus) 
             E5  
We're not poetry in motion like the ocean's blue  waves, 
              A5             D5              A5     
We're just flashing flood emotion born in red Georgia clay, 
D5                      A5            D5   
Her love is a lyric a song with no lines, 
    A5            E5         A5  
We know in our hearts we rhyme, 
 
(lead chords - 
E5 - A5 - D5 - A5 - D5 - A5 - D5 - A5 - E5 - A5 ) 
 
 
(verse 3) 
      A5               
The nurse held her up to the window and,  
D5             E5                 A5   
I traced her face through the glass, 
              D5                       A5 
She's got my love for sleeping  And Madelyn's nose 
          D5                       E5  
And I'm already thinking she'll grow up too fast, 
 
(verse 4) 
    A5          A5           A5 
I think of the day that's a coming, 
        D5              E5        A5  
When a boy wants this baby of mine, 
          D5               
I'm not sure that I'll like it,  
 A5                D5 
But I'll have to let go, 
      A5               E5        A5        
When she says to me Daddy we rhyme, 
 
(chorus) 
             E5  
We're not poetry in motion like the ocean's blue  waves, 
              A5             D5              A5     
We're just flashing flood emotion born in red Georgia clay, 
D5                      A5            D5 
Our love is a lyric a song with no lines, 
    A5             E5        F#5 - A5 - D5     
We know in our hearts we rhyme   
    A5            E5         A5 - E5 - A5 
We know in our hearts we rhyme
