[Intro]
C       Fmaj7   G   C       Fmaj7   G


[Verse]
C                               Fmaj7    G
   Get in the car up front with me
               C                    Fmaj7           G
Y'know there's nothing to do 'round here during the week
         C                              Fmaj7   G
So we're going to Memphis to get out of town
C                           Fmaj7   G
   Going to Memphis to mess around


[Verse]
        C                            Fmaj   G
I got a bottle of Thunderbird in the trunk
         C                             Fmaj   G
I know a place if there's anything you want
         C                                 Fmaj7       G
This old man runs the store, he'll sell anything to anyone
      C                       Fmaj7     G
But I don't know what time he closes up


[Chorus]
Am                   Fmaj7             G             C
   So think about it, but, baby, don't take too much time
             Fmaj7    G                         C       G
Maybe only a moment,     maybe the time of your life


[Verse]
C                                            Fmaj7           G
   Well, boys might look rough but they're not tough between me and you
C                     Fmaj7    G
   Though they can be crude
C                                   Fmaj7    G
   Like the girl less thing's goin' on about
        C                                Fmaj7   G
He just said: "She's got a pretty mouth"


[Verse]
       C       Fmaj7   G
So you see...
         C                 Fmaj7   G
What I'm dealing with
              C             Fmaj7   G
And how's the old saying go?
                   C         Fmaj7   G
"With friends like this..."


[Chorus]
Am                Fmaj7            G               C
   Don't worry we     all gotta be back by morning time
             Fmaj7     G                         C        G
Maybe only a moment,      maybe the time of your life


[Interlude]
C       Fmaj7   G   C       Fmaj7   G
C       Fmaj7   G   C       Fmaj7   G


[Bridge]
Fmaj7        G               C       C
    Come on,    baby, come on
          Am       Fmaj7                G       G
Ain't you ever     stayed out all night long?


[Verse]
C                                 Fmaj7   G
   I know your brother he don't scare me
C                              Fmaj7    G
   Why do we need to tell your momma anything?
C                              Fmaj7   G
   If I'm bothering you let me know
C                         Fmaj7   G
   But ain't we damn near grown?


[Chorus]
Am                     Fmaj7          G            C
   Maybe it's Tuesday,     maybe it's damn near midnight
             Fmaj7     G                         C        C
Maybe only a moment,      maybe the time of your life
             Fmaj7     G                         C
Maybe only a moment,      maybe the time of your life
