VERSE 
                   C                             G7 
Love starts with a toothbrush, a Bic razor and a Dixie cup 
                   C         C7                      F 
A little splash of aftershave, before you leave for that first date 
               C                               G7 
I see stars in both your eyes, after that long kiss goodnight 
 
                      C                                    G7 
Forever starts with a suitcase, sneaking out the window to get away 
                  C          C7                F 
To the car parked by the curb, gassed up for a gallon burn 
                      C                             G7 
A little chapel and a couple of rings, will get you two toothbrushes by the bathroom sink 
 
 
F                 G         C               Am 
Everything that's anything, starts out as a little thing 
Dm                  G                C 
Just needs a little time and room to grow 
F             G 
Step by step, day by day 
   C           Am 
It all adds up along the way 
Dm                          G 
And the next thing that you know 
 
VERSE 
 
                   C                                 G7 
Life starts with a little house, a corner lot on the edge of town 
                   C           C7                           F 
A weed eater and a picket fence, you think it's good as the getting gets 
                  C                                   G7 
Then she wakes up feeling bad, you both wonder what's up with that 
 
 
F                 G         C               Am 
Everything that's anything, starts out as a little thing 
Dm                  G                C 
Just needs a little time and room to grow 
F             G 
Step by step, day by day 
   C           Am 
It all adds up along the way 
Dm                          G 
And the next thing that you know 
 
VERSE 
 
                 C                                          G7 
One night around eight o'clock, you scrub him down then you dry him off 
                            C          C7                    F 
You pick him up and put his little feet, on the stool by the bathroom sink 
                           C                                G7 
You grab the crest and the Dixie cup, it all hits you as he opens up... 
                            C     F   G   C    
Am    Dm   G   C 
Love starts with a toothbrush
