verse 1
C G
Full moon Friday night after the game
Dm F
Stars must have all lined up early that day
C G
I just turned 17, she had me by a month
Dm F
We were young, we were green to the taste,
to the touch
Dm
From that very first kiss,
Em F
it was like we were born for that moment
G
caught up in the perfect storm
F C G
It came in like a flood over the gate
Dm Em F G
Swallowed us up and it swept us away
C G
We were over our heads, me and that girl
Dm Em F G
We were out of our minds, it was out of this world
C G
It was always too much, it was never enough
Dm Em F G
It was just the kind of stuff you just can't make up
C G Dm F
It was love
verse 2
F C G
We reigned like the king and the queen of the land
Dm F
Everyone wanted some of what we had then
Dm C
Yeah, we were the ones they all talked about
F G
Like we were the fire that would never go out
C G
It came in like a flood over the gate
Dm Em F G
Swallowed us up and it swept us away
C G
We were over our heads, me and that girl

We were out of our minds, it was out of this world

C G
We knew it was coming, still, it came way too soon

Neither one knew what to say or to do
Dm Em
So, we just let the radio play while we danced
Dm C F G
We laughed and we cried like I never have since
C G
It came in like a flood over the gate
Dm Em F G
Swallowed us up and it swept us away
C G
We were over our heads, me and that girl
Dm Em F G
We were out of our minds, it was out of this world
