      C majorC    G+G       D MajorD
 It's about fifteen hundred miles to California
C majorC          G+G      D MajorD
 They'll get there Friday if they leave tonight
C majorC       G+G       D MajorD
 She sneaks out at three thirty in the morning

 Leaves a note so she won't see her daddy cry

 C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  x2

 C majorC      G+G       D MajorD
 He cuts the engine when he coasts in the driveway
  C majorC         G+G       D MajorD
 She slides in and gives him one kiss for the road
    C majorC        G+G    D MajorD
 No friends and no family, no job out there waiting
       C majorC          G+G     D MajorD
 The whole town will call them crazy but they gotta go


     C majorC  G+G    D MajorD
 'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah
    C majorC       G+G        D MajorD

      C majorC  G+G   D MajorD             C majorC     G+G
 'Cause there ain't no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your
  D MajorD
 Head to your heart

      C majorC      G+G     D MajorD
 They can barely make rent on a rundown apartment
  C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
 She's waiting tables and he's a valet
       C majorC      G+G       D MajorD
 They're behind on the bills and the car's barely running
   C majorC     G+G       D MajorD
 But he buys a ring with the tips that he's saved


     C majorC  G+G    D MajorD
 'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah
    C majorC       G+G        D MajorD
 You might do sgome things that don't seem all that smart
      C majorC  G+G   D MajorD             C majorC     G+G
 'Cause there ain't no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your
  D MajorD
 Head to your heart

  E minorEm            B minorBm           C majorC  G+G  D MajorD
 Just kids themselves but that's all to change in nine more months


C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
 She wakes him up at three thirty in the morning
C majorC      G+G       D MajorD
 Ready or not their new life's gonna start
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
 Seven pounds and eighteen inches
       C majorC       G+G      D MajorD
 The doctor lays that new baby's head right on her heart

 C majorC  G+G  D MajorD


  C majorC  G+G    D MajorD
 When you're young and in love, yeah
    C majorC       G+G        D MajorD

 But thank God for those eighteen inches
    C majorC     G+G       D MajorD
 The distance it is from your head to your heart
