[Intro]
F C Dm Am Bb F C Dm C F

[Verse 1]
             C
I wanna come home to roses
Dm               Am                Bb
And dirty little notes on Post-its
            F                   C
And when my hair starts turning gray
                      Dm
He'll say I'm like a fine wine,
C           F
better with age
                     C
I guess I learned it from
           Dm
my parents
               Am
That true love starts
                Bb
with friendship
              F                C
A kiss on the forehead, a date night
           Dm     C     Bb
Fake an apology after a fight

[Chorus]
          C                    F
I need a man who's patient and kind
                C
Gets out of the car and
          Bb
holds the door
              C
I wanna slow dance in
                F
the living room like
                  Am
We're eighteen at senior
         Bb
prom and grow
             C
Old with someone who makes
        F
me feel young
         C                Bb
I need a man who loves me like
   C               F
My father loves my mom

[Verse 2]
              C                  Dm
I want a road trip in the summers
             Am               Bb
I wanna make fun of each other
             F              C
I wanna rock out to Billy Joel
                  Dm
And flip our kids off when
     C       F
they call us old
                   C              Dm
He'll accidentally burn our dinner
                  Am              Bb
And let me be the scrabble winner
            F             C
And when my body changes shapes
                  Dm
He'll say, "Oh my God,
         C     Bb
you look hot today"

And if he lives up to my father
               Am                Bb
Maybe he could teach our daughter
          F             C
What it takes to love a queen
N.C.
She should know she's royalty
