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                                  Asus4 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                         Asus4 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
