Intro - D MajorD - G+G - D MajorD - E minorEm - D/F#D/F# - G+G


(Verse 1)
 D MajorD                    G+G
We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi

   D MajorD
My parents slept right through

       G+G
They never missed me

 E minor 7Em7
We were far from sleepin'

      G+G
When the truth began to creep in

  E minor 7Em7               G+G - A augmentedA
That we weren't goin' home anytime soon

(Verse 2)
   D MajorD                 G+G
The mornin' light sure took us by surprise

   D MajorD
We grabbed our clothes

            G+G
Watched a beautiful sunrise

 E minor 7Em7
We were one together

          G+G
And we must have talked forever

    E minor 7Em7              G+G   A augmentedA
And it was then and there I realized  that


(Chorus)
 D MajorD              G+G
I don't want to wait even one more night

    D MajorD               G+G
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right

 D MajorD         G+G
Knees buckled, white knuckled

    E minor 7Em7
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight)

     G+G       A augmentedA          D MajorD
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life

(Yea, yea, yeah yeah)
 G+G
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah)

D MajorD     E minorEm - D/F#D/F# - G+G
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah yeah)

(Verse 3)

We worked our way through college waitin' tables

Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable

I asked if he was ready

To become a Mom and Daddy

And then I found my answer in his eyes

And he said,

(Chorus)
 D MajorD              G+G
I don't want to wait even one more night

    D MajorD               G+G
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right

 D MajorD         G+G
Knees buckled, white knuckled

    E minor 7Em7
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight)

     G+G       A augmentedA           D MajorD
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life


(Bridge)
      C majorC
Now, our oldest girl is almost grown

    G+G
She's got a boyfriend of her own

   E minor 7Em7                   A4  A augmentedA
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night

     G+G
And if she's anything like me

     D MajorD
She's desperate to be wild and free

     G+G              A4  A augmentedA
We know now it's just a matter of time


'Til she says...

(Chorus)
 D MajorD              G+G
I don't want to wait even one more night

   D MajorD              E5E5  F#5F#5  G5G5 - A5A5
