Verse: 

Cadd9 
It's two tickets to a concert  
   G 
It’s a Daytona airbrush T-shirt  
Em 
Wondering who’s gonna kiss who first 
D 
You know what I’m talking about  
Cadd9 
Hey baby whatcha doing tonight  
G 
It’s butterflies and Bud Lights  
   Em                               D 
Under the stars and on the stripes of a beach towel in a Spring Break town 

Cadd9 
It’s playing in the night air  
G 
Through the speakers all night long 
Em  
Couple kids just livin’  
    D 
That American country love song 


Cadd9 
In every town, in every place 
G                             Em 
There’s a boy who’s trying to take a chance  
                     D 
and dance and find a way to run away with her heart  
Cadd9 
In the back of an old Ford truck 
G  
In the bar, just looking for luck 
Em                            D 
In a pair of oh my blue eyes, let them fireworks start 
Cadd9       G        Em       D  
That American country love song  
                              Cadd9 
Ain’t ever gonna quit playing on and on and on 

Verse: 
Cadd9 
It’s Chris loves Jenny on a license plate  
   G 
It’s daddy getting mad because you came home late  
Em 
It’s one last kiss in the driveway  
D 
Hey radio DJ can you play that song  
Cadd9           G 
That she loves, so I can turn it up  
Em 
And maybe turn on  
  D 
An American country love song

Cadd9                  G 
So let’s raise a glass, cheerleaders and quarterbacks  
Em                         D 
Cowboys and country girls, all around this small town world  
Cadd9                         G 
To the same old pick up lines, we’ve tried a million times 
Em                              D                             Cadd9 
All the bad and good as it gets, to the ones that you ain’t met yet
