It started way back in third grade
F C Bb
I used to sit beside Emmy Lou Hays
F C Bb
A pink dress a matching bow and a pony tail
Gm C
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell
F C Bb
Next day I chased her around the playground
F C Bb
Across the monkey bars to the merry go round
F C Bb
Emmy Lou got caught passing me a note
Gm C
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote
Chorus
F Dm Bb C
Do you love me do you want to be my friend and if you do
F Dm Bb C
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand if you want to
Bb C
I think this is how love goes check yes or no
F C Bb
Now were grown up and shes my wife
F C Bb
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
F C Bb
Aint much changed I still chase Emmy Lou
Gm C
Up and down the halls around the bed in our room
F C Bb
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
F C Bb
Twenty years together and she still gets to me
F C Bb
I can't believe its been that long ago
Gm C
When we got started with just a little note
Chorus and fade
