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
