Only The Songs That We Knew

Tom: G

         G
She was just a year ahead of me
         Am
But that meant so much back then, you see
         D                        Em      C          
When the high school boys caught wind of me
       G              D
They threw me in the mud

(Verse 2)
And I fought my way to the car that night
And I cursed the water, and I cursed the light
But I learned to swim, and I learned to fight
For the things that mean the most

C/G
And oh,
       D               G              C
Sweet Samantha dear, I know it's been so many years
       D                        Em      C
And I hope that they have been kind, my friend
       G               D                
9Oh, I think about you now and then

 Am                     Em
When the sun is sinking low
 Am                     Em
Over the docks by the shore
 Am                               D
Where I laid up in green fields with you
         C                       G
Singing only the songs that we knew
         C                       G
Singing only the songs that we knew
         C                       G
Singing only the songs that we knew
