[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9

[Verse 1]
G                 Cadd9                 G               Cadd9
A 40 HP Johnson on a flat bottom metal boat
G                         Cadd9                         G                         D/F#
Coke cans and BB guns, barbed wire and old fence posts
G                 Cadd9                 G                       Cadd9
8-point bucks in autumn and freshly cut cornfields
G                         Cadd9                 G                               D/F#
One arm out the window and one hand on the wheel

[Chorus]
G                         Cadd9                       G                                 Cadd9
Some things just go better together and probably always will
G                                 Cadd9                         Em                       D/F#
Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise, Sunday drives and time to kill
G                 Cadd9                         G                                 Cadd9
What’s the point of this ol’ guitar if it ain’t got no strings?
G                                 Cadd9                         Em                         D/F#
Or pourin’ your heart into a song that you ain’t gonna sing?
G                                 Cadd9                 Em                         D/F#
It’s a match made up in heaven, like good ol’ boys and beer
Cadd9                                         D/F#
And me, as long as you’re right here
G Cadd9 G Cadd9

[Verse 2]
G                 Cadd9                       G                       Cadd9
Your license in my wallet when we go out downtown
G                         Cadd9                         G                               D/F#
Your lipstick’s stained every coffee cup that I got in this house
G                                 Cadd9                       G                                 Cadd9
The way you say, “I love you, too” is like rain on an old tin roof
G                 Cadd9                       G                                 D/F#
And your hand fits right into mine like a needle in a groove

[Chorus]
G                         Cadd9                 G                 Cadd9
Some things just go better together and probably always will
G                                         Cadd9                 Em                 D/F#
Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise, Sunday drives and time to kill
G                         Cadd9         G                         Cadd9
What’s the point of this ol’ guitar if it ain’t got no strings?
G                         Cadd9                                 Em                 D/F#
Or pourin’ your heart into a song that you ain’t gonna sing?
G                 Cadd9                 Em                 D/F#
It’s a match made up in heaven, like good ol’ boys and beer

And me, as long as you’re right here
G Cadd9 G Cadd9

[Bridge]
G Cadd9 Em Cadd9
Sometimes we’re oil and water, but I wouldn’t have it any other way
G Cadd9 Em D/F#
And if I’m being honest, your first and my last name

[Chorus]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Would just sound better together and probably always will
G Cadd9 Em D/F#
Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise, Sunday drives and time to kill
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
What’s the point of this ol’ guitar if it ain’t got no strings?
G Cadd9 Em D/F#
Or pourin’ your heart into a song that you ain’t gonna sing?
G Cadd9 Em D/F#
It’s a match made up in heaven, like good ol’ boys and beer
Cadd9 D/F# G Cadd9
And me, as long as you’re right here
Cadd9 D/F# G
And me, as long as you’re right here
(G) Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
