Red Ragtop Cifras

[Verse 1]
G
I was twenty and she was eighteen 
          C                                        G                    C
We were just about as wild as we were green in the ways of the world
          G
Well she picked me up in that red ragtop
         C
we were free of the folks and hiding from the cops
         G                        Cadd9
on a summer night, runnin' all the red lights 
         G
so we'd park way out in a clearing in a grove 
          C
and the night was as hot as a coal burnin' stove 
          G
we were cookin' with gas, 
        Cadd9
oh it had to last
 
[Chorus]
                    C   G   Am
in the back of that red rag top
         C        G     Am
she said please don't stop
 
[Verse 2]
          G
well the very first time her mother met me
    C                                            G          C
her green eyed girl had been a mother to be for two weeks 
       G
I was out of a job and she was in school
C
life was fast and the world was cruel 
        G
we were young and wild,
                  C
we decided not to have a child 
      G
so we did what we did and we tried to forget
       C                                                  G
and we swore up and down there would be no regrets in the morning light 
              Cadd9
but on the way home that night 
 
[Chorus 2]
                    C   G    Am
on the back of that red rag top 
             C  G    Am          G    Cadd9
she said please dont stop loving me 
 
[Bridge]
        C        G      Am        G
we took one more trip around the sun 
           C            G          Am
and it was all make believe in the end 
      C          G       Am     G
no I can't say where she is today 
           Am           G        Am
I can't remember who I was back then

[Verse 3]
         G
well you do what you do 
                                      C
and you pay for your sins and there's no such thing as what might have been 
           G
that's a waste of time, 
           C
drive you out of your mind 
         G                                     C
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday beside a young girl in a cabriolet 
        G
and her eyes were green 
                Cadd9
and I was in an old scene 
 
[Chorus]
                  C    G   Am
I was back in that red rag top 
       C    G   Am           G            Cadd9
on the day she stopped lovin me 
                   C   G    Am
I was back in that red rag top 
       C    G  Am            G
on the day she stopped lovin me
