Verse 1
C C 
 
You swear that you're stayin' single,
next thing you know
Am9 Am9 
 
You meet a girl at a bar
and next thing you know
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
You get her laughin', it's two AM
Fsus2 Fsus2 
 
You're tellin' your buddies  three months in
C C 
 
She ain't movin' in, the next thing you know
Am9 Am9 
 
There's a U-Haul trailer, next thing you know
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Your old apartment is y'all's new place
Fsus2 Fsus2 
 
There goes the carpet
but the deer head stays

Chorus 1
C C 
 
Next thing you know
You're savin' money like never before
Am9 Am9 
 
Just to    spend it all at a jewelry store
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Gettin' down     on one knee
on her mama's porch
Fsus2 Fsus2 
 
Just prayin'  she don't say, "No"
C C 
 
Next thing you know
Your best man gives a half-drunk speech
Am9 Am9 
 
And you're sunburned on a honeymoon beach
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
And your     left hand's gettin' used to that ring
Fsus2 Fsus2 
 
And there    the next two or three years go
Next thing you know
C C 
 
Am9 Am9 
 
Fsus2 Fsus2 
 

Verse 2
C C 
 
You weren't really tryin', next thing you know
Am9 Am9 
 
There's a test on the counter,
next thing you know
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
She's standin' there cryin',
noddin' her head, "Yes"
Fsus2 Fsus2 
 
You're half excited,   half scared to death

Chorus 2
C C 
 
'Cause next thing you know
You're wearin' scrubs and a funny white hat
Am9 Am9 
 
And the   doctor's sayin',
"How you doin' there, dad?"
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
And      nobody's ever called you that
Fsus2 Fsus2 
 
And you take     the drive home slow
C C 
 
Next thing you know
It's first steps, first dates, first car
Am9 Am9 
 
It's eleven oh one wonderin' where they are
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
You're sayin'   that USC's too far
Fsus2 Fsus2 
 
It's amazing   how fast seventeen years go

With a lot      of years of remember whens
Fsus2 Fsus2 
 
And still    some down the road

'Cause next thing you know
You got a yard full of your kid's kids
Am9 Am9 
 
And you take  'em to church, teach 'em to fish

About     how fast this life down here can go
