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
