G/F#
I wish I had an opportunity to not do
Em
What I did to hurt you
C
And now I'm here livin' with regrets
I know that it was my fault
I know that I got caught
So please dont loose your thoughts
Me lovin' you and you lovin' me
I'm on the highway swurvin'
I ain't drunk but I'm about to hit the curb
Lookin' at the calendar gettin' nervous Just a few more days till the first
Chorus:
So this the day it all began
One place that it came together
More than a ring or a tattoo
It's your birthmark that reminds me of you
So let's get on a airplane
Go back to where we began
To that point which is days apart
That's stamped right next to your heart
To your heart
To your heart
To your heart (To your heart) (X3)
(Your heart) (X3)
Get the calendar, go to August 3rd
First words today, we had our first words
First arguement got to let it go
Cuz it could possibly affect what our future holds
Flipping pages now I'm famous
Thinking back I ain't seen you in ages
Wishin' that I could have made it less painless
Brings me back, right back to the same mess
I know that it was my fault
I know that I got caught
So please dont loose your thoughts
Me lovin' you and you lovin' me
I'm on the highway swurvin'
I ain't drunk but I'm about to hit the curb
Lookin' at the calendar gettin' nervous
Just a few more days till the first
Chorus:
So this the day it all began
One place that it came together
More than a ring or a tattoo
It's your birthmark that reminds me of you
So let's get on a airplane
Go back to where we began
To that point which is days apart
That's stamped right next to your heart
To your heart
To your heart
To your heart (To your heart) (X3)
(Your heart) (X3)
January, Febuary, March, April, May
June, July, August is just another day
September, October, November tryin' to find a way
And December the month my calendar defeat again
If only we could go
To that place where me and you know
There's no fake, front, cheat or even lyin'
The time has come where we stand face to face
Chorus:
This the day it all began
One place that it came together
More than a ring or a tattoo
It's your birthmark that reminds me of you
So let's get on a airplane
Go back to where we began
To that point which is days apart
That's stamped right next to your heart
To your heart (X3)
That's stamped right right next to your heart
To your heart
To your heart
To your heart (To your heart)(X3)
That's stamped right next to your heart
