[Verse 1]
C               G
  Two kids, one old Corolla
Em                D
   A mixtape you made for me
C                  G
   Blackjack and a Coca-Cola
Em                  D
   Parked way back 'neath the trees
C                   G
  You were singing "Yellow Ledbetter" (Hey)
Em                             D
   And you knew every damn line
C                   G
  I was thinking it doesn't get better (Hey)
Em                               D
   Than leaned back seats under pines
 
[Chorus]
N.C.              C                  G                     Em
In the car that night, Saturday in July, we had the radio dialed
                         D                   C
And you were teeing them up in the car that night
               G                     Em
Two beautiful eyes, you weren't even trying
                   D
I was falling in love
C                      G
   When the headlights    met the sunrise
Em                    D
    It was so right, oh, in the car that night
C                    G
   We were on fire,   couldn't get higher
Em                         D                          C     G
    I was yours, you were mine in the car that night (Oh-oh-oh)
                      Em     D
In the car that night (Oh-oh-oh) Oh, in the car that night
 
[Verse 2]
 C              G
   Tank top tan on your shoulder (Hey)
Em                    D
   It felt warm there on my lips
C               G
    Your Levi's on the floorboard (Hey)
Em                         D
    And a come-and-love-me kiss
 
[Chorus]

Em                         D                          C     G
    I was yours, you were mine in the car that night (Oh-oh-oh)
                       Em    D
In the car that night (Oh-oh-oh) Oh, in the car that night
C       G   Em      D
(Oh-oh-oh)  (Oh-oh-oh)
