Verse 1:
C majorC       (C majorC)      FF       C majorC
How I love to say hello when time is on our side,
   FF        C majorC       am        Gsus4Gsus4
feels like a lifetime left to go, a long way from goodnight.
    C majorC       (C majorC)       FF        C majorC
But the glass is ever turning and the sand can fall so quick;
FF        C majorC        A minorAm       Gsus4Gsus4
no one tells you our farewell is closer than you think.

Chorus:
      A minorAm Gsus4Gsus4 C majorC      FF         C majorC
Now I gotta go, go,  go, another airplane, another show;
    FF       C majorC       G+G        G+G
twenty songs if they love me, only eighteen if they don't.
     A minorAm Gsus4Gsus4 C majorC   FF         C majorC
I'm gonna fly     many miles until you're mine.
     FF         C majorC       G+G
how many nights and highway lines I don't know,
      A minorAm Gsus4Gsus4 C majorC     C majorC
but I gotta go, go,  go.

Hurry now and hold me while we still got the chance.
  FF          C majorC        A minorAm     FF      G+G
The clock is cruel and a moment true can slip right through your hands.
    C majorC       C majorC    FF       C majorC
I don't wanna run from wreckage when we sail away.
 FF      C majorC       DmDm      G+G
I only want to see your smile shining in my wake.

Chorus:
       A minorAm Gsus4Gsus4 C majorC      FF         C majorC

twenty songs if they love me, only eighteen if they don't.

I'm gonna fly     many miles until you're mine.

And I'll be looking over my shoulder when we hit the open road,
    FF                  FF
for the only thing that hurts you, more than leaving is when you don't.
   DmDm              C majorC
With one eye on the spotlight and one foot out the door.
   FF                G+G
I'll have to beg your pardon like so many nights before.
        A minorAm Gsus4Gsus4 C majorC    C majorC   C majorC
'Cause I gotta go, go,  go.

Verse 3:

How I loved to say hello when time was on our side.
   FF        C majorC        A minorAm        Gsus4Gsus4
When love was new and me and you were younger than the night.
 C majorC         (C majorC)        FF      C majorC
I hope we've come to know we've had the time of our lives
FF         C majorC         DmDm      G+G

twenty songs if they love me, only eighteen if they don't.

I'm gonna fly     many miles until you're mine.
     FF         C majorC       G+G       G+G
how many nights and highway lines I don't know, I don't know,

End-Chorus:
        A minorAm Gsus4Gsus4 C majorC      FF         C majorC
'Cause I gotta go, go,  go, another airplane, another show;
    FF       C majorC       G+G        G+G
twenty songs if they love me, only eighteen if they don't.
