|Verse 1|
Db Twenty minutes south of a Nashville town
Bbm Gb There’s a boy ridin’ on a bike
Db Grass-stained tee and his scraped-up knees
Gb From an older brother backyard fight
Db Only thing he loves is his mama
Gb And playing catch with his dad
Bbm Db Can’t wrap his mind around ever needing
Gb Anything more than that
|Chorus|
Gb But meanwhile in Carolina
Gb There’s a girl in a princess dress
Db Running through the kitchen
Db And dancing on her bed
Gb Two stories God is painting
Gb One day, He will combine ’em
Bbm That boy from Tennessee’s
Db Gb Ab Never crossed her mind yet
Bbm But ten hours away
Db Gb She’s growing up beside him
Db Gb Meanwhile in Carolina
|Verse 2|
Db Boy grows up writing songs about love
Gb Kind he only knows at sixteen
Db Whether in-between classes or baseball practice
Gb He’s thinking ’bout girls it seems
Db And there’s a wonderin’ about forever
Gb A prayer he always prays
Bbm Db And in a beach town by the water
Gb Is this one that sounds the same
|Chorus|
Gb ‘Cause meanwhile in Carolina
Gb There’s a girl with her best friends
Db Talking about Prince Charming
Db Planning forever in their heads
Gb Two stories God is painting
Gb One day, He will combine ’em
Bbm That boy from Tennessee’s
Db Gb Ab Every dream in her mind, but
Bbm She’s just waiting on
Fm Gb The day he comes to find her
Db Gb Meanwhile in Carolina
Db Gb Yeah, meanwhile in Carolina
|Bridge|
Bbm7 Ab Meanwhile in Tennessee
Gb Db Every turn, he learns something
Bbm7 About what it’d take
Ab Gb To keep her when he finds her
Bbm Db Then God lets him in on the secret
Gb He’s been hiding
|Chorus|
Gb That meanwhile in Carolina
Gb There’s a girl with eyes of green
Db That’s everything and more
Ab Fm Than my mind could ever dream
Gb Two stories God was painting
Gb That day that He combined ’em
Bbm That boy from Tennessee
Db Gb Ab Can’t believe how they lined up
Bbm Db That girl he was looking for
Gb That whole time was
Db Gb Meanwhile in Carolina
Db Gb Db Meanwhile in Carolina
