[Intro]
Cmaj7 Em7 Am7 G
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7Only when the waves stop rolling
Em7Only when the stars quit shining
Am7Only when my truck wheels quit turning
GWill we be apart
[Chorus]
Fmaj7The only time I’ll be far away is when I'm gone
GGirl, only when we were lying in my truck bed,
Em7Looking at the stars
Am7Do I realize, no star can shine as bright as you
GNo star can twinkle as your eyes do
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7Baby, only when I'm with you
Em7Do I feel whole
Am7In my truck in its bed on a beach,
GUnderneath the stars
[Chorus]
Fmaj7Just me and you lying in the light of the moon
GOnly when I'm with you
Em7Only then do I feel the pieces
Am7Of my heart go back together
[Bridge]
Cmaj7Only when I'm with you
Em7Only then do I feel like I have my life altogether
Am7I used to tell myself that
GI was gonna be alright
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7But I didn't have anyone to hold me tight
Em7And all my friends would tell me
Am7You need someone who really loves you
GSomeone to hold you tight all through the night
[Chorus]
Fmaj7And only then will you be alright
GOnly then
[Outro]
