A        C#m           D        
I met you in the third grade

I didn't know that you liked lemonade
  C#m                  D
I met you another year later

You wore a red sweater with an alligator
              C#m              D       
We chased the ice cream truck across the street
     E                              A
And I, I thought you seemed kind of neat
        C#m                       D             E
We held hands as we walked to the swings in the park.

A              C#m
I'm you're man I'm your gal

I'm so glad that we are pals.

You're not fat 
                D
You don't smell bad
              E             A
You're always smiling never sad

I bet you take a shower every day
E               
Hey hey hey hey.
A               C#m
But then when I saw you
        D                E
Playing soccer with your friends
A           C#m
I knew that day
    D                E        
Our love would never end.

When you marry me you'll be my wife.

Bridge
A          C#m         D        E
 And if you ever went away from me
A         C#m
  I would cry

I would fall down on one knee
G             A         
  And I would pray
G             A
  Yes I would pray
G                A
  That you would come back
   E
To me someday...
