I Call It Love
By Mel McDaniel
GBm
Two young kids, a night in May
C
A country road and a Chevrolet,
GDG
Beneath the summer moon
GBm
Almost a woman, almost a man
C
Things like this get out of hand
GDG
Seventeen, and that's too soon
Chorus:
Em
You can call it youth
CG
And blame it on the night
Em
You can call it life
CG
And say that it's not right
Bm
You can call it foolish
CDG
Blame it on the stars above
EmD
Call it what you want
C
I call it love
Blood runs high, and wrong or right
They lose their heads, run off one night
And what's done can't be undone
Thinkin' life's an easy thing
A borrowed dress and a wedding ring
Eighteen, and that's too young
Chorus
Time goes on and in a while
It's a rented room and a month old child
And they're down
To just gettin' by
It's hard to laugh when life's that way
People shake their heads and say
They won't make it
Oh, but they might
Chorus
