Tim Mcgraw by Taylor Swift
Tim Mcgraw
Intro: C Am F G
C Am
You said the way my blue eyes shined,
F
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
G
I said: "That's a lie"
C Am
Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
F
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
G
On backroads at night
F C
An' I was right there beside him all summer long
F G
An' then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone
C
But when you think: Tim McGraw,
Am
I hope you think my favorite song
F
The one we danced to all night long:
G
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
C
When you think happiness,
Am
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
F
Think of my head on your chest,
G
An' my old faded blue jeans
F
When you think Tim McGraw,
C
I hope you think of me
C Am
September saw a month of tears,
F
An' thankin' God that you weren't here,
G
To see me like that
C Am
But in a box beneath my bed,
F
Is a letter that you never read,
G
From three summers back
F C
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet,
F G
An' lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe:
C
When you think: Tim McGraw,
Am
I hope you think my favorite song
F
The one we danced to all night long:
G
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
C
When you think happiness,
Am
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
F
Think of my head on your chest,
G
An' my old faded blue jeans
F
When you think Tim McGraw,
C
I hope you think of me
F
And I'm back for the first time since then:
C
I'm standin' on your street,
F
An' there's a letter left on your doorstep,
G
An' the first thing that you'll read:
C
Is: "When you think: Tim McGraw,
Am
"I hope you think my favorite song"
F
Some day you'll turn your radio on,
G
I hope it takes you back to that place
C
When you think happiness,
Am
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
F
Think of my head on your chest,
G
An' my old faded blue jeans
F
When you think Tim McGraw,
C
I hope you think of me
Am
Oh, think of me,
F G
Mmmm
C Am
You said the way my blue eyes shined,
F
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
G
I said: "That's a lie"
