Verse 1
F# F# 
 
You swear that you're stayin' single,
next thing you know
D#m9 D#m9 
 
You meet a girl at a bar
and next thing you know
C#sus4 C#sus4 
 
You get her laughin', it's two AM
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
You're tellin' your buddies  three months in
F# F# 
 
She ain't movin' in, the next thing you know
D#m9 D#m9 
 
There's a U-Haul trailer, next thing you know
C#sus4 C#sus4 
 
Your old apartment  is y'all's new place
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
There goes the carpet
but the deer head stays

Chorus 1
F# F# 
 
Next thing you know
You're savin' money like never before
D#m9 D#m9 
 
Just to     spend it all at a jewelry store
C#sus4 C#sus4 
 
Gettin' down      on one knee
on her mama's porch
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
Just prayin'  she don't say, "No"
F# F# 
 
Next thing you know
Your best man gives a half-drunk speech
D#m9 D#m9 
 
And you're sunburned on a honeymoon beach
C#sus4 C#sus4 
 
And your      left hand's gettin' used to that ring
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
And there    the next two or three years go
Next thing you know
F# F# 
 
D#m9 D#m9 
 
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 

Verse 2
F# F# 
 
You weren't really tryin', next thing you know
D#m9 D#m9 
 
There's a test on the counter,
next thing you know
C#sus4 C#sus4 
 
She's standin' there cryin',
noddin' her head, "Yes"
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
You're half excited,   half scared to death

Chorus 2
F# F# 
 
'Cause next thing you know
You're wearin' scrubs and a funny white hat
D#m9 D#m9 
 
And the    doctor's sayin',
"How you doin' there, dad?"
C#sus4 C#sus4 
 
And       nobody's ever called you that
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
And you take     the drive home slow
F# F# 
 
Next thing you know
It's first steps, first dates, first car
D#m9 D#m9 
 
It's eleven  oh one wonderin' where they are
C#sus4 C#sus4 
 
You're sayin'    that USC's too far
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
It's amazing   how fast seventeen years go

Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
And still    some down the road

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords
