• Capo on 1st

Intro - D - G - D - Em - D/F# - G


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

   D
My parents slept right through

       G
They never missed me

 Em7
We were far from sleepin'

      G
When the truth began to creep in

  Em7               G - A
That we weren't goin' home anytime soon

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

   D
We grabbed our clothes

            G
Watched a beautiful sunrise

 Em7
We were one together

          G
And we must have talked forever

    Em7              G   A
And it was then and there I realized  that


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

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

 D         G
Knees buckled, white knuckled

    Em7
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight)

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


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

D     Em - D/F# - 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              G
I don't want to wait even one more night

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

 D         G
Knees buckled, white knuckled

    Em7
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight)

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


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

    G
She's got a boyfriend of her own

   Em7                   A4  A
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night

     G
And if she's anything like me

     D
She's desperate to be wild and free

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


'Til she says...

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

   D              E5  F#5  G5 - A5
