Verse 1

D G D

It started with a note in the third grade

D G D A

You wrote, “I love you, do you love me? Yes, no, or maybe?”

D G D

So I wrote back, “I love you too”

D G D A

Then I signed my name and gave it to you

D G D

And we were both nervous as could be

D G D A

’Cause neither one knew what it was like to be in love

D G D A

But it felt right that day

Chorus

D G

Check yes or no

D G D A

Now you’re all I need, all I want

D G D A

And it’s still like that note passed in the hall

D G

Check yes or no

D G D

Oh, check yes or no

Verse 2

D G D

Seventeen summers later we’re still together

D G D A

And I recall what I wrote in that letter

D G D

I asked you, “Will you be mine?”

D G D A

And I thank God you checked off the ”yes” line

D G D

And it’s still that way today

D G D A

You’re still the one I run to, the one that I belong to

D G D

You’re still the one I want for life

Chorus

D G

Check yes or no

D G D A

Now you’re all I need, all I want

And it’s still like that note passed in the hall

Check yes or no

Oh, check yes or no
