 #(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 <---walk
 It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right
 D               G            
 Knees buckled, white knuckled
       Em                                 
 We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight)
          G            A                  D  
 (We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life
 
 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
