[Intro]
G  D    Em7  Cadd9    x2
[Estrofa]
G 
  You were wearing that black dress, 
Cadd9 
coat and cowboy boots. 
G 
  He was there but I didn't care, 
          Cadd9 
I was too busy staring at you.  
       D 
In the pouring rain with the blue lights flashing, 
       Cadd9 
in the hills of Appalachia. 
D 
Close to tears with her makeup smeared 
  Cadd9 
I asked her what had happened.
[Estribillo]
      G 
But I know she ain't ready, 
    D 
she won't be for a while. 
   Em7 
He broke her down and when I'm around, 
      Cadd9 
I can see it in her smile. 
      G 
She's fighting getting closer, 
     D 
it's just too plain to see. 
      Em7 
And I know she ain't ready, 
    Cadd9 
but that's alright with me.  
G  D    Em7  Cadd9
[Estrofa]
G 
  You were wearing that red dress, 
Cadd9 
pearls and those high heels. 
G 
  I like the way it made you look, 
             Cadd9 
you love the way it made you feel. 
   D 
So I said to you, "I'd sure love 
   Cadd9 
to do this again." 
    D 
And you said, "me too, 
             Cadd9 
but I'm just not over him."
[Estribillo]
      G 
And I know she ain't ready, 
        D 
and she won't be for a while. 
   Em7 
He broke her down and when I'm around, 
      Cadd9 
I can see it in her smile. 
      G 
She's fighting getting closer, 
     D 
it's just too plain to see. 
      Em7 
And I know she ain't ready, 
    Cadd9 
but that's alright with me.

[Puente]
            D 
She started calling me baby, 
 
and two years later I was 
Cadd9 
down on one knee.  
       D 
With a ring in hand, 
 
I said "I'm your man" and "Girl, 
Cadd9 
will you marry me?"
[Estribillo]
             G 
She said you know that I'm ready, 
      D 
and I have been for a while. 
         Em7 
When the bells sound and you turn around, 
        Cadd9 
I'll be walking down the aisle. 
          G 
This will only bring us closer, 
     D 
it's just too plain to see, 
      Em7 
and I know that we're ready, 
   Cadd9 
so that's alright with me.
