IntroG
You were wearing that black dress,
C
coat and cowboy boots.
G
he was there but I didn't care,
C
too busy staring at you.
D
pouring rain with them blue lights flashing,
C
in the hills of Appalachia.
D
close to tears with her makeup smeared
C
I asked her what had happened.
ChorusG
I know that she ain't ready,
D
she won't be for a while.
Em
he broke her down and when I'm around,
C
I can see it in her smile.
G
shes finally getting closer,
D
it's just too plain to see.
Em
I know that she ain't ready,
C
and that's alright with me.
G, D, Em7, CVerseG
you were wearing that red dress,
C
pearls and those high heels.
G
I like the way it made you look,
C
love the way it made you feel.
D
I said to you I sure love,
C
to do this again.
D
and you said me too,
C
but I'm just not over him.
ChorusG
I know that she ain't ready,
D
she won't be for a while.
Em
he broke her down and when I'm around,
C
I can see it in her smile.
G
shes finally getting closer,
D
it's just too plain to see.
Em
I know that she ain't ready,
C
and that's alright with me.
G, D, Em7, CBridgeD
she started calling be baby,
and two years later I was
C
down on one knee.
D
ring in hand,
I said I'm your man and girl
C
will you marry me?
OutroG
she said you know that I'm ready,
D
I have been for a while.
Em
when the bells sound and you turn around,
C
I'll be walking down the aisle.
G
this will only bring us closer,
D
it's just too plain to see,
Em
I know that we're ready,
C
and that's alright with me.
