The Night Before Life Goes On chords by Carrie Underwood

[Intro]

Fmaj7  G/B   Fmaj7  G/B   Fmaj7  G/B   C   Fmaj7


[Verse]

        G/B             Fmaj7
Sitting up on the roof
     G/B                    Fmaj7
Sneaking a smoke by the chimney
        G/B                     C          Fmaj7
Checking out the moon and the city lights
             G/B                    Fmaj7
He takes off his flannel shirt and
          G/B                     Fmaj7
He drapes it around her shoulders
      G/B                      C
Slides up behind her and holds on tight
             Am7       C/G                   Fmaj7
And she says, "I don't want this night to end

Why does it have to end?"


[Chorus]

  G                    F                C
Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10, Baton Rouge
      G                         F
LSU, eighteen years in her rear view
G                  F                 C
He's got a Friday pay-check lined up down the block at Daddy's shop
G                             Am
It ain't much, but it's a job
                            C/G                D/F#   Fmaj7
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
                                Fmaj7  G/B   Fmaj7  G/B   Fmaj7  G/B   C
The night before life goes on


[Verse]

    Fmaj7   Gsus4               Fmaj7
Ooh, a tear falls off her cheek
      Gsus4                        Fmaj7
Right when it hits his arm he says
        Gsus4       C                Fmaj7
"Come on baby, lets get out of here"
           Gsus4                         Fmaj7
They take one last drive around town and
       Gsus4                   Fmaj7
Man it already looks different
             Gsus4          C                 Am7
He bangs the wheel and says, "Life ain't fair
                  C/G                     Fmaj7
"And this growing up stuff, man I don't know

"I just don't wanna let you go"


[Chorus]

  G                    F                C
Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10, Baton Rouge
      G                         F
LSU, eighteen years in her rear view
G                  F                 C
He's got a Friday pay-check lined up down the block at Daddy's shop
G                             Am
It ain't much, but it's a job
                            C/G                D/F#   Fmaj9
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
                               C
The night before life goes on


[Bridge]

             G/B
Yeah, that's what my momma told me
    Bb
And just like those kids
  F                      C
I didn't wanna listen to no one
              G/B
Yeah, there's nothing you can do
            Bb
There's nothing you can say
      Fadd9
And I know how it feels when love goes away


[Chorus]

  G                    F                C
Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10, Baton Rouge
      G                         F
LSU, eighteen years in her rear view
G                  F                 C
He's got a Friday pay-check lined up down the block at Daddy's shop
G                             Am
It ain't much, but it's a job
                            C/G                D/F#   Fmaj7
They've been dreading this moment all summer long

But here it is they don't have long
                                G/B  Fmaj7  G/B  Fmaj7
The night before life goes on
G/B    C        Fmaj7       G/B         Fmaj7 G/B   Fmaj7 G/B   C
