[Intro]

  G    G    C    C   
  G    G    C    C  
 
 
[Verse]

          G
Let's pretend we 

never broke up
    C
Pretend we didn't 

do it all wrong
      G            
Let's act as if 
   D/F#     G
we didn't quit
         C
And when it got hard, 

we held on
          G
Let's pretend you 

gave it your all
    C
Pretend 

I didn't need more
          G                    
And that we're still sittin' in 
     D/F#         G
a countryside kitchen
     C
Red dogs sleepin' 

on the floor
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

      D
Guess I still got 

some feelings
        C
Honey, do you feel 

like dreamin'?
 
 
[Chorus]

         G
Of that first summer 

night in the back of your truck
    C
Kissin' in the moonlight, 

stars above
 G                         
Dancin' in a field with 
     D/F#  G
the radio  on
     C
The moment we found 

our favorite song
 G
Burnin' like a fire 

that would never go out
 C
Heartache wasn't somethin' 

we were thinkin' about
        G                       
That forever kinda feeling 
           D/F#
that we found out
G       C
It was love, 

it wasn't pretend
 
 
[Instrumental]

  G    G    C    C    
  G    G    C    C 
 
 
[Verse]

          G
Let's pretend you opened up
    C
Pretend I didn't shut down
          G            
'Cause I can't pretend 
         D/F#   G
that it don't hurt
         C
And that I don't 

miss you now
 
 
 
[Chorus]

         G
In that first summer night in 

the back of your truck
    C
Kissin' in the moonlight, 

stars above
 G                         
Dancin' in a field with 
    D/F#  G
the radio  on
     C
The moment we found 

our favorite song
 G
Burnin' like a fire 

that would never go out
 C
Heartache wasn't somethin

' we were thinkin' about
        G                  
That forever kinda feeling 
           D/F#
that we found out
G       C      
It was love, 
    Am
it wasn't pretend
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

G    Em
     Ooh
D
Ooh, yeah
 C
Ooh
 
 
[Bridge]

        D
Do you feel like 

playin' along?
            C
Like goin' back 

before you were gone
 
 
[Chorus]

         G
To that first summer night 

in the back of your truck
    C
Kissin' in the moonlight, 

stars above
 G                       
Dancin' in a field 
          
          D/F#  G
with the radio  on
     C
The moment we found 

our favorite song
 G
Burnin' like a fire 

that would never go out
 C
Heartache wasn't somethin' 

we were thinkin' about
        G                     
That forever kinda feeling 
             D/F#
that we found out
G       C        Am
It was love, it wasn't pretend
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

G   Em    D
    Oh,   oh

It was love
