Intro - A - E - A 
 
 
(verse 1) 
     A                      
Her name was Madelyn Connors,   
    D         E             A  
And I am the man that she picked, 
                  D                         A  
She watched her daddy's money built their house on the hill, 
       D                      E   
And watched me and my daddy laying every brick, 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
     A                        
Her dad couldn't see us together,   
          D         E         A   
And the truth is neither did mine, 
                D                        A             D             
They couldn't know from the very first time that we kissed, 
    A            E         A        
We knew in our hearts we rhyme, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
             E  
We're not poetry in motion like the ocean's blue  waves, 
              A             D              A     
We're just flashing flood emotion born in red Georgia clay, 
D                      A            D   
Her love is a lyric a song with no lines, 
    A            E         A  
We know in our hearts we rhyme, 
 
 
(lead chords - E - A - D - A - D - A - D - A - E - A) 
 
 
(verse 3) 
      A               
The nurse held her up to the window and,  
D             E                 A   
I traced her face through the glass, 
              D                       A 
She's got my love for sleeping  And Madelyn's nose 
          D                       E  
And I'm already thinking she'll grow up too fast, 
 
 
(verse 4) 
    A          Asus           A 
I think of the day that's a coming, 
        D              E        A  
When a boy wants this baby of mine, 
          D               
I'm not sure that I'll like it,  
 A                D 
But I'll have to let go, 
      A               E        A        
When she says to me Daddy we rhyme, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
             E  
We're not poetry in motion like the ocean's blue  waves, 
              A             D              A     
We're just flashing flood emotion born in red Georgia clay, 
D                      A            D 
Our love is a lyric a song with no lines, 
    A             E        F#m - A - D     
We know in our hearts we rhyme   
    A            E         A - E - A 
We know in our hearts we rhyme
