C Am F C G Am F No he didn't try to kiss you on the first date, did he C G I bet he opens up your door in his F-150 Am F He didn't act that way back when he was with me C And I need you to know why G 'Cause girl I'm the girl who Am Took him to school, showed him the way F When he would slip up, I gave him grace C I put in the hours, I paid the bill G I didn't get the flowers but you will Am Brought him to church, taught him to pray F How not to run and why he should stay C G So you can thank me if that boy knows how to love N.C. It's cause I'm the girl where he grew up Am F I bet out of the blue, he tells you you're pretty C G I bet he checks in when he's out late with his buddies Am F I bet his eyes don't wander when he's drinking whiskey C Yeah he learned it the hard way G The moment he lost me Am Took him to school, showed him the way F When he would slip up, I gave him grace C I put in the hours, I paid the bill G I didn't get the flowers but you will Am Brought him to church, taught him to pray F How not to run and why he should stay C G So you can thank me if that boy knows how to love Am F It's cause I'm the girl where he grew up C G I'm the girl where he grew up Am And when he takes you to his hometown F Holds up a handful of cornfield dust C That might be where he came from G But that ain't where he grew up Am Yeah I took him to school, showed him the way F He didn't want to, I made him change C I put in the hours, I paid the bill G I didn't get the flowers but you will Am I brought him to church, taught him to pray F How not to run and why he should stay C G So you can thank me if that boy knows how to love Am It's cause I'm the girl where he grew up F I'm the girl that he messed up C And I put up with him G Am F C G When you would've gave up G N.C.
