Verse
C#                             A
Do you remember the story of a boy and his first date,
C#                             A
She took him to the lake and he fell in love,
C#                             A
They spent one summer waking up between his arms,
C#                         
She told him how good that that felt,
                   B
And that he was the one.

Pre-chorus
A
And then she went away,
B
His calls were not returned,
E           Eb      C#                            B
He went to see her but her eyes were burning a different stare,
B
Her focus was somewhere else,
E          Eb       C#               B
And her feelings had somehow disappeared.

This continues through second verse.

Do you remember when they both drove out of state,
Stealing kisses behind her cousins back,
With a love so strong tell me who could wait.

Chorus
B                       A
Well it seems so right, and it feels so right,
E
That it has to be right,
B                        A
But it feels so right and it feels so right,
E
That it has to be right.

If you listen to the cd then you could probably work out the instrumental bit.

After that, repeat the chorus,

The ending is,
C#
And then she went away,
B
And she's not coming back,
A
And I'm pretty sure this boys getting stoned tonight.
