Intro: D D

Verse 1:
        D
Waiting together forever, and that's how it's gonna stay
    Gm
You couldn't separate us if you tried
D
We've been sharing sweaters, writing each other love letters
Gm
Ever since I can remember being alive

Pre-chorus:
    Gm
Too young to be sinning, it was just the beginning
       D
Of the rest of our life

Chorus:
Dm                Am
Faded blue jeans, big holes in the knees
C                  D
Had 'em ever since I was seventeen
   Dm                        Am
Rolling in the grass in 'em, trying to get your hands in 'em
G                                     D
You were so good-looking (Yeah), Mama said it was a sin

Verse 2:
   D
My father never forgave us, said even God couldn't save us
Gm
Thank heavens it wasn't him to decide
D
Who would be the one we married, still rolling in the grass, sharing
Gm
Everything between us, left and right

Oh, from the beginning we were loving, not sinning
