[Intro]
G , C , Em , D
Strumming:
DDU, DDUDUDU, DDU, DDUDUDU
[Verse]
G C
Night sand felt good on sunburned feet.
Em D
Sittin' on pool chairs we drug to the beach
G C
But that salty air was bittersweet.
Em D
Waitin' for the sun to rise.
G C
Best friends talkin' 'bout the memories we made.
Em D
We couldn't believe that we were graduatin'
G C Em D
The wind and the waves were slippin' away but that moment felt so alive.
[Chorus]
C G
If I could bottle it up I'd have a stash in the truck,
Em D
Splash in my cup. It'd never get old.
C G
One little sip, just a taste on my lip
Em D
I'd be takin' a trip wherever I go.
G
I'd keep a "life's good,
C
Sweet bliss does it ever really get
Em D
Better than this?" kinda buzz
C G
If I could bottle it up.
Em D
If I could bottle it up.
[Verse]
G C
Well you, me, and my grandad fixed that car
Em D
It was a summer full of grease and changing parts
G C
But when we finally got that thing to start
Em D
And it sounded just right.
G C
Ridin' with the prettiest girl I know
Em D
Breakin' in a brand new record on an old back road
G C
When that first slow love song came on
Em D
She couldn't hide that little smile.
[Chorus]
G C
And I drink it down.
Em D
And I pass it around, pass it around.
G C
Cuz it'll sneak up on you fast
Em D
When life pours out the good stuff
G C
Just can't make it last.
Em D
Well every moment in time would never end.
D
Cuz I'd take it with me when it did
[Chorus]
