Verse 1:
You ever [Bb]seen a prayer in person?
The kind of [F]thing that makes you believe
All the [Gm7]waitin' 'round was worth it

Mine [Bb]showed up out of nowhere
In just a [F]t-shirt and some jeans
And [Gm7]I knew right then right there
She [Eb]looked like forever to me
Chorus:
She gave [Bb]eighteen summers to Caro[F]Carolina
Spent a few more wild and [Gm7]free
Gave a long shot chance to a [Eb]Georgia boy in Tennessee

And a grass stain to my [Gm7]knee
I might've gave her the
[Eb]diamond, but she gave forever to [Bb]me
Verse 2:
[Bb]Well, there ain't no dancin' 'round it
When your [F]whole world standin' there
Just '[Gm7]'cause we've talked about it

And [Bb]right there where I met her
Yeah, [F]I showed her the ring
Just [Gm7]waitin' on her answer Lord, [Eb]felt like forever to me
Chorus:
Yeah, she gave [Bb]eighteen summers to Caro[F]Carolina
Spent a few more wild and [Gm7]free
Gave a long shot chance to a [Eb]Georgia boy in Tennessee

And a grass stain to my [Gm7]knee
I might've gave her the
[Eb]diamond, but she gave forever to [Bb]me [F]
She gave forever to [Gm7]me [Eb]
Bridge:
She gave [Bb]a "Yes" to the dress with her [F]mama
That's gonna be somethin' to [Gm7]see
