Tim McGraw – Red Ragtop (Guitar)

G
I was twenty and she was eighteen 

          C                                        G                    C
We were just about as wild as we were green in the ways of the world

          G
Well she picked me up in that red ragtop

         C
we were free of the folks and hiding from the cops

         G                        Cadd9
on a summer night, runnin' all the red lights 

         G
so we'd park way out in a clearing in a grove 

          C
and the night was as hot as a coal burnin' stove 

          G
we were cookin' with gas, 

        Cadd9
oh it had to last

                    C   G   Am
in the back of that red rag top

         C        G     Am                                    
she said please don't stop

          G
well the very first time her mother met me

    C                                            G          C
her green eyed girl had been a mother to be for two weeks 

       G
I was out of a job and she was in school

C
life was fast and the world was cruel 

        G
we were young and wild,

                  C
we decided not to have a child 

      G
so we did what we did and we tried to forget

       C                                                  G
and we swore up and down there would be no regrets in the morning light 

              Cadd9
but on the way home that night 

                    C   G    Am
on the back of that red rag top 

             C  G    Am          G    Cadd9
she said please dont stop loving me 

        C        G      Am        G
we took one more trip around the sun 

           C            G          Am
and it was all make believe in the end 

      C          G       Am     G
no I can't say where she is today 

           Am           G        Am
I can't remember who I was back then 

         G
well you do what you do 

                                      C
and you pay for your sins and there's no such thing as what might have been 

           G
that's a waste of time, 

           C
drive you out of your mind 

         G                                     C
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday beside a young girl in a cabriolet 

        G
and her eyes were green 

                Cadd9
and I was in an old scene 

                  C    G   Am
I was back in that red rag top 

       C    G   Am           G            Cadd9
on the day she stopped lovin me 

                   C   G    Am
I was back in that red rag top 

       C    G  Am            G
on the day she stopped lovin me
