Trent Willmon - The Way I Remember It Chords

The Way I Remember It
R. Clawson
Broken In


CAPO IV


INTRO: A

A
Indian Summer, both of us laughin'
A
Hackberry trees and fireflies flashin'
D
So many holes in the soles of our shoes
    E
You don't choose life, life chooses you


Floatin' on a raft we built from scr*pwood
Mosquito bite scratchin' felt so good
And I'd never seen eyes your color of blue
You don't choose love, love chooses you


CHORUS 1:
     D                  D/A          D/C D/A
A   
Life slipped away like a gulf shore high tide
        E
And now love's more like a thorn in my side
         A             A/E     A/G  A/A
Than the wonderland it used to be
D                        D/A      D/C  D/A
I guess that's why these memories shine like
A                  D 
Sixteenth birthday cake candle lights
    A 
And I know it wasn't perfect
E                               A
But that's the way I like to remember it


Big green john deer 48-40
Turnin' dirty for most of the mornin'
Radio givin' severe weather warnin's
You don't choose fate, fate chooses you

I got to your house as the black skies opened
We were all alone, thunder was rollin'
As west texas flatland turned into ocean
That was the end of our innocence moment


CHORUS 2 (end on D):
Life slipped away like a california hillside
And now love's more like a thorn in my side
Than the wonderland it used to be
I guess that's why these memories shine like
Sixteenth birthday candle lights
ANd I know it wasn't that perfect
But that's the way I like to remember it


BRIDGE:
B                     D
I learned most of the sad times, the break downs
    A
The broken hearts fade away
B                 D                      Bm
I keep all of the highlights close to my heart
                E
And I need them every day


CHORUS 3:
Life slipped away like a runaway bride
And now love's more like a thorn in my side
Than the fairy tale it used to be
I guess that's why these memories shine like
Sixteenth birthday cake candle lights
And I know it wasn't that pefect
But that's the way I like to remember it

     E                            A
Yeah that's the way I like to remember it
