Written By: Amelia Scalies
D
(D) When we were babies, our parents were the very best of friends.
(D) Of all the toys we had, we’d both want the same ones in the play pen.

(C) When we were five or so, you (G) called my name- I was on the floor,
(A) Cryin’ ‘cause I scraped my knees, (D) playin’ ball again.
(C) Now that we’re all grown up, I (G) realize I’ve had a crush
(A) On you and your blue eyes, but (A) boy, it’s too late (A) now,

‘Cause you took (D) Macey Brown drivin’ a-(G)-round the town,
Screamin’ (D) “I’m in love with a (G) green-eyed (A) girl,”
Said you were (D) “so in love”, all that you’re (G) thinkin’ of, is that
(D) So-called perfect (G) green-(A) eyed (D) girl.
D
(D) When I stopped calling you, babe, you know, you were supposed to care.
(D) Boy I’m annoyed about time, or whatever happened here.
‘Cause (C) when we were twelve years old, you (G) took my hand, pulled me on the floor,
(A) We slow-danced together for a (D) whole entire song!
(C) Oh, you’re like an undertow, (G) halfway in, but I gotta go,
(A) Drownin’ in those blue eyes, I (A) should’ve known all a-(A)-long…
But you took (D) Macey Brown drivin’ a-(G)-round the town,
Screamin’ (D) “I’m in love with a (G) green-eyed (A) girl,”
I saw you and (D) Macey Brown with your car’s (G) windows down,
(D) Laughin’ together, yeah that (G) green-(A) eyed (D) girl.
D
(C) I never told you what (G) you should know.
(C)Today’s my birthday and (G) you have yet to show.
I see (Em) headlights, baby your (Dsus2) head-(D)-lights,
You (C) step out of your car, with-(G)- out your Macey Brown.
You finally (Em) came for me, to tell me you’re (Dsus2) so-(D)-rry,
I’m prep-(C)-ared for anything, except what (G) comes out of your (A) mouth.

You said that, (D) “All this time, I didn’t think you’d (G) wanna be mine,
So I (D) settled for that (G) green-eyed (A) girl.
But then she said some (D) things to me, about you that were (G) cruel and mean,
So I (D) dumped that hateful (G) green-eyed (A) girl.
Babe now that I (D) know the truth, would it be (G) fine by you
If I (D) tell the world you’re my (G) hazel-(A) eyed (D) girl?”
D G D G A
Years go by and (D) Macey Brown is (G) married now,
And she’s (D) got a baby (G) green-eyed (A) boy.
Now our kids’ll (D) play around, growin’ up in (G) our hometown,
Yeah her (D) little green-eyed boy and our (G) hazel-(A)-eyed (D) girl.
