Intro - D - G - D - Em - D/F# - G
(Verse 1)
DG
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
Em7G - A
That we weren't goin' home anytime soon
(Verse 2)
DG
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
Em7GA
And it was then and there I realized that
(Chorus)
DG
I don't want to wait even one more night
DG
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right
DG
Knees buckled, white knuckled
Em7
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight)
GAD
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah)
G
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah)
DEm - 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)
DG
I don't want to wait even one more night
DG
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right
DG
Knees buckled, white knuckled
Em7
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight)
GAD
(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
Em7A4A
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
GA4A
We know now it's just a matter of time
'Til she says...
(Chorus)
DG
I don't want to wait even one more night
