IntroG
You were wearing that black dress,
Cadd9
coat and cowboy boots.
G
he was there but I didn't care,
Cadd9
too busy staring at you.
D
pouring rain with them blue lights flashing,
Cadd9
in the hills of Appalachia.
D
close to tears with her makeup smeared
Cadd9
I asked her what had happened.
ChorusG
I know that 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
shes finally getting closer,
D
it's just too plain to see.
Em7
I know that she ain't ready,
Cadd9
and that's alright with me.
G, D, Em7, Cadd9VerseG
you were wearing that red dress,
Cadd9
pearls and those high heels.
G
I like the way it made you look,
Cadd9
love the way it made you feel.
D
I said to you I sure love,
Cadd9
to do this again.
D
and you said me too,
Cadd9
but I'm just not over him.
ChorusG
I know that she ain't ready,
D
she won't be for a while.

I can see it in her smile.

Cadd9

G, D, Em7, Cadd9BridgeD
she started calling be baby,
and two years later I was
Cadd9
down on one knee.
D
ring in hand,
I said I'm your man and girl
Cadd9
will you marry me?
OutroG
she said you know that I'm ready,
D
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
I know that we're ready,
Cadd9
and that's alright with me.
