Verse 
   G 
Homecoming parade, you were the queen 
      C 
I was riding right behind you with the rest of the team 
      Am 
Saw my ring on your finger as you waved to the crowd 
        C                            D 
I didn't know a second stringer could ever be so proud

My sweetest dream was in the car in front of me

On Wednesday nights, we'd meet at church 
C 
You'd bring the kids, and I'd come straight from work 
     Am 
Going home I'd read their lips through the window of your van

As they sang Jesus loves me, I thought God I'm a lucky man

And you held us all together through one more spring 

G 
Their little hands held on to mine 
  C 
As we sat in that backseat with tears in our eyes 
 Am 
A long line of headlights 
Strangers stopped along the road 
  C                       D 
No Monday wasn't meant for wearing Sunday clothes
