           C 
It was so long ago 
              G    
That feels so strange to say 
              F 
How does 18 years ago 
               C 
Seem just like yesterday 
 
A hundred kids from around the world 
                 G 
On a ship to the great unknown 
           F 
2 boys for every girl 
                    C 
You had never been away from home 
 
You were drinking something really green 
                      G 
Hopping around like a grasshopper 
                     F 
I was sipping diesel gasoline 
                       C 
Then I threw up on the ? 
 
  F                 G            C 
I wonder if it ever crosses your mind 
        F                      G                   C 
Cos I'm afraid its something I dwell on all of the time 
  F                G 
I hear your doing amazing, and 
C                        Am 
Believe me that makes me smile 
      F                 G                  C 
But I hope you think of me every once in a while 
 
INTRO 
 
                 C 
We watched the stars shine 
                     G    
Ate chicken by the slot machines 
              F 
I was with a friend of mine 
                   C   
He got into your room-mate's jeans 
                  
We danced to Aerosmith 
                        G 
And then we watched the sun appear 
                  F 
I took a bracelet from your wrist 
                    C    
You took an earring from my ear 
  
You twisted one last twirl 
                  G 
Then kissed me so fucking hard 
                    F 
And all at once our friends would leave 
                        C   
Our hair tangled in the ocean breeze 
 
You told me you loved me 
                G        
I asked you if you were sure 
             F 
You said you thought so 
                       C 
And then I said that I loved you too 
 
 
  F                 G            C 
I wonder if it ever crosses your mind 
        F                      G                   C 
Cos I'm afraid its something I dwell on all of the time 
  F                G 
I hear your doing amazing, and 
C                        Am 
Believe me that makes me smile 
      F                 G                  C 
But I hope you think of me every once in a while 
 
INTRO 
                   C 
Georgia girl meets Texas boy 
                 G 
Place in time so far away 
                 F 
Like Leonardo Di Caprio 
                     C 
But our ship sank a different way 
 
A lifetime in four short days 
                    G 
Said goodbye and we never looked back 
                      F 
A few letters always ended the same 
                C 
I love you, did you know that? 
 
 
  F                 G            C 
I wonder if it ever crosses your mind 
        F                      G                   C 
Cos I'm afraid its something I dwell on all of the time 
  F                G 
I hear your doing amazing, and 
C                        Am 
Believe me that makes me smile 
      F                 G                  C 
But I hope you think of me every once in a while 
      F                 G                  C 
But I hope you think of me every once in a while
