[Intro]
C C/E F
C C/E F
[Verse]
C C/E
Twenty minutes south of a Nashville town
C F
There's a boy ridin' on a bike
C C/E
Grass-stained tee and his scraped-up knees
F
From an older brother backyard fight
C C/E
Only thing he loves is his mama
F
And playing catch with his dad
G Am C/E
Can't wrap his mind around ever needing
F
Anything more than that
[Chorus]
F
But meanwhile in Carolina
There's a girl in a princess dress
C
Running through the kitchen
And dancing on her bed
F
Two stories God is painting
One day, He will combine 'em
Am C/E Fsus2 F
That boy from Tennessee's never crossed her mind yet
G Am Em/Ab C/E F
But ten hours away, she's growing up beside him
C C/E F
Meanwhilе in Carolina
[Verse]
C C/E
Boy grows up writing songs about love
F
Kind he only knows at sixteen
C C/E
Whethеr in-between classes or baseball practice
F
He's thinking 'bout girls it seems
C C/E
And there's a wonderin' about forever
F
A prayer he always prays
Am C/E
And in a beach town by the water
F
Is this one that sounds the same
[Chorus]
F
'Cause meanwhile in Carolina
There's a girl with her best friends
C
Talking about Prince Charming
Planning forever in their heads
F
Two stories God is painting
One day, He will combine 'em
Am C/E F
That boy from Tennessee's every dream in her mind, but
G Am C/E F
She's just waiting on the day he comes to find her
C C/E F
Meanwhile in Carolinaaaaaaaaa
[Post-Chorus]
C C/E F
Yeah, meanwhile in Carolina
[Bridge]
Am G
Meanwhile in Tennessee
F C/E
Every turn, he learns some things
Am G F
About what it'd take to keep her when he finds her
Am C/E F
Then God lets him in on the secret He's been hiding
[Chorus]
F
That meanwhile in Carolina
There's a girl with eyes of green
C
That's everything and more
G
Than my mind could ever dream
F
Two stories God was painting
That day that He combined 'em
Am C/E F
That boy from Tennessee can't believe how they lined up
G Am C/E F
That girl he was looking for that whole time was
C C/E F
Meanwhile in Carolina
C C/E F C
Meanwhile in Carolina
