Couldn't be a fancy dancin' girl and it couldn't be an also-ran
Am                    Asus4  Am           F                   G
Couldn't be my mother cryin' softly after hearin' from my old man
Am                     Asus4  Am           F                         G
Couldn't be the guitar player wailin' even though I really liked the band

Had to be you

Had to be you

Am                 Asus4    Am              F                     G
Old men just never talkin' about it, always sayin' I was much too young
          Am
Had to be you

Had to be you

[Chorus]
Dm                       Dm7                 Am   G
What you gonna do if you ever find out we're wrong
          D7                 A
Just come crashin' down like thunder
          Dm                          Dm7              Am  G
There's a danger sign that says we've had too much too long
       D7             A
You go rollin' like a landslide
     E
Lady Luck'll be cryin'
       E7
And if I ain't dead you know I'm gonna be dyin'

Like a hundred other magic moments darlin' when you're there to find another song
