Intro]
C  F  C  G  C

[Verse]
C                   
We were young and in 
         F  C
love in Alabama
C                        
But it wasn\'t Birmingham,
             G      G7
 it wasn\'t Mobile
               C       
And so we were nowhere, 
 F               C
dreamers with a blank stare
C                           
Running lost highways through
      G      C
 the cotton fields

[Verse]
C                            
You\'d slide over on my bench
                F        
 seat and make a joke and 
     C
poke fun at me
C                          
Just because I kept a Bible
                   G      G7
 on the dash of my truck
                C           
It ain\'t that I read it much,
         F           C
 it was really just there for looks
C                              
And young love on lost highways,
              G          C     C7
 you know we needed the luck

[Chorus]
C7               F           
\'Cause isn\'t it something how
                 C
 young love can turn to nothing
                    F       
If you add a little distance
                 G     G7
 and time passеs by?
                       C           
So I said, \"Let\'s get affectionatе, 
         F               C
like it says in the New Testament\"
C                               
And we were laughing at tomorrow
    G                     C     G C
 and grinning through the night

[Verse]
C                                
Do you remember when we\'d wander,
             F            C
 go floating down the Escatawpa?
C                            
We wasn\'t really doing nothing 
              G       G7
but passing time
                     C         
And running from the knowledge
         F                 C
 you were soon to leave for college
C                         
And splashing on the creek 
             G            C    C7
banks and I tried not to cry

[Chorus]
C7               F           
\'Cause isn\'t it something how
                 C
 young love can turn to nothing
                    F       
If you add a little distance
                 G     G7

                       C

[Verse]
C                             
Well, I helped your daddy move 
             F             C
ya into the dorms in Tuscaloosa
C                          
\"You better not forget me\",
                     G     G7
 you whispered in my ear
                       C      
I couldn\'t smile, so I faked it,
           F              C
 we both knew I\'d never make it
C                        
Even if I found the money 
            G          C     C7
to come to see you up here

[Chorus]
C7               F           
\'Cause isn\'t it something how
                 C
 young love can turn to nothing
                    F       
If you add a little distance
                 G     G7
 and time passеs by?
                       C           
So I said, \"Let\'s get affectionatе, 
         F               C

C                               
And we were laughing at tomorrow
    G                     C    G C
 and grinning through the night
