[Intro]

G C G D

[Verse]

G

We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof

Talkin' 'bout everything under the moon

C

With the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume

All I could think about was my next move

D

Oh, but you were so shy, so was I

C

Maybe that's why it was so hard to believe

D

When you smiled and said to me

Chorus:

C G D

Are you gonna kiss me or not?

C G D

Are we gonna do this or what?

C

I think you know I like you a lot

D

But you're 'bout to miss your shot

G D G D

Are you gonna kiss me or not?"

[Verse]

G

It was the best dang kiss that I ever had

Except for that long one after that

Page 5: Country Song Teacher 4 Chord Songbook

C

And I knew if I wanted this thing to last

D

Sooner or later I'd have to ask for your hand

So I took a chance

C

Bought a wedding band and I got down on one knee

D

And you smiled and said to me

[Chorus]

C G D

Are you gonna kiss me or not?

C G D

Are we gonna do this or what?

C

I think you know I love you a lot

D

I think we've got a real good shot

G C G

Are you gonna kiss me or not?"

[Verse]

C

So, we planned it all out for the middle of June

From the wedding cake to the honeymoon

G

And your momma cried

When you walked down the aisle

C

When the preacher man said, "Say I do"

AM

I did and you did too, then I lifted that veil

D (LET IT RING OUT)

And saw your pretty smile and I said

Page 6: Country Song Teacher 4 Chord Songbook

N.C. C G D

"Are you gonna kiss me or not?

D C G D

Are we gonna do this or what?

D C

Look at all the love that we got

D

It ain't never gonna stop

C G D

Are you gonna kiss me or not?"

[Outro]

Yeah baby, I love you a lot

D

I really think we've got a shot

G C D

Are you gonna kiss me or not?
