G                                          Em Cadd9
She said, "Forever's gonna be like this"
G                                        Em Cadd9
Class ring promise and a shotgun kiss
G                                      Em Cadd9
Blue jeans, smoke and backseat dreams
G                                   Em Cadd9 G
Make kids in love believe anything


[Chorus]
Cadd9                    G          D
She can't feel rain in July without thinkin' about him
    Cadd9                  G                  D
And he can't see top-down, on Jeeps without thinkin' about her
G                                 Cadd9
    We love how forever begins
        G                          Cadd9  G
But the trouble with forever is it always ends
Em  D  Cadd9  G
Ooh-ooh-ooh


[Verse 2]
G                                          Em Cadd9
She thought love was a pretty, white dress
G                                                 Em Cadd9
He thought the work was done when she said, "Yes"
G                                         Em Cadd9
Three hundred people heard her say, "I do"
G                                                       Em Cadd9 G
But there was no one there when he said, "We're through"


[Chorus]
 Cadd9                       G        D
And she can't help sometimes wishin' they could start over
    Cadd9                    G           D
And he knows there's so many things that he should have told her
G                             Cadd9
  We love how forever begins
        G                           Cadd9  G
But the trouble with forever is it always ends
Em D Cadd9 G
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Em D Cadd9 G
Ooh-ooh-ooh


[Outro]
G
He holds her hand as she says, "Goodbye"
G
Fifty years in the blink of an eye
G
As close to forever as you'll ever get
G                               Cadd9 G
The trouble with forever is it always ends
