Verse 1

G C

I remember the pool house smell

G D

And the way you’d laugh at the lies I’d tell

G C

I remember the way you’d dance

G D

And the way you’d give me a second chance

G C

I remember the way you’d sing

G D

And the way you’d make fun of my wedding ring

G C

I remember the way you’d cry

G D

And the way you’d look at the evening sky

Chorus

In the pool house with my friend

And I wish I could move on

And I wish I was there

D G

In the pool house with my friend

Verse 2

G C

I remember the way you’d drive

G D

And the way you made me feel alive

I remember the way you’d pray

G D

I remember the way you’d fight

And the way you held me tight

I remember the way you’d leave

And the way you made me believe
