Taylor Swift - Mary's Song Chords

D A G D G

         D
She said, I was seven and you were nine
  A
I looked at you like the stars that shined
G
In the sky, the pretty lights
        D
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
A                                      G
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
                               Em      A
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my

           D
   Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
           A
   Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
       G
   You never did, you never did
           D
   Take me back when our world was one block wide
     A
   I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
   G
   Just two kids, you and I
      D           G D G D G
   Oh my my my my

D
I was sixteen when suddenly
  A
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
         G
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
        D
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
     A
They never believed wed really fall in love
        G
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
         Em      A
And said oh my my my

        D
   Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
   A                                 G
   Two a.m. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
           D
   Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
       A
   The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
       G
   You stayed outside til the morning light
      D           G D G D G
   Oh my my my my

D
A few years had gone and come around
        A
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
        G
And you looked at me, got down on one knee

        D
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
    A
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
    G
You said I do and I did too
        D
Take me home where we met so many years before
      A
Well rock our babies on that very front porch
      G
After all this time, you and I

D
Ill be eighty-seven you'll be eighty-nine
           A
Ill still look at you like the stars that shine
G              Em       D
In the sky, oh my my my
