F
Well the Oklahoma air has got a moisture to it
Cm
Thick enough, you could cut right through it
Am G
On those summer nights, you wish you could live again
F
And all those lights go up in unison
Cm
As we all meet up to get drunk again
Am G
At the same old place we stumbled in last week

When you swept me off my feet

I never saw it coming

I've been known for running since I was seventeen
F Cm Am G
Then you swept me off my feet
[Verse 2]
F
Well burning bright and dying young
Cm
Has always been the song I've sung
Am G
But the lyrics changed the night you said my name
F
And I'll meet you in the middle, call it compromise
Cm
Give you my love and I'll take take your eyes
Am G
Looking into mine for the rest of my days
[Chorus]
F
Cause you swept me off my feet
Cm
I never saw it coming
Am G
I've been known for running since I was seventeen
F Cm Am G
And then you swept me off my feet
[Verse]
F
Well the Oklahoma air has got some moisture to it
Cm
Thick enought you could cut right through it
Am G
On those summer nights you wish you could live again
[Chorus]
F
You swept me off my feet
Cm
I never saw it coming
Am G
I've been known for running, since I was seventeen
F
And then you swept me off my feet
