D/F#     G       C     G     G      D       Am 
now the parking lot is empty everyones gone someplace 
D/F#        G              C          G      F                 Am     D 
I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed a cooler & a 2-day suitcase 
D/F#            G        C      G      G      D      Am 
cause theres a place we like to goto, way out in the country 
D/F#     G          C                 G           F             Am   D 
5 miles out of the city limit we're singin & your hands upon my knee 
 
chorus 
------ 

         G          G/F             C               D 
so we're ok, we're fine, baby i'm here to stop the crying 
               G               G/F 
chase all the ghosts from your head 
                   C                     D  
stronger than the monster beneathe your bed 
  B7                Em                    C 
smarter than the tricks played on your heart 
                     G                  D/F#   Em 
we'll look at them together then we'll take em apart 
               Am        Am/B       Am/C 
adding up the total of a love thats true 
         D                     G 
multiply life by the power of two. 
 
you know the things that i am afraid of, I'm not afraid to tell  

& if we ever leave a legacy its that we loved each other well 

Ive seen the shadows of so many people trying on the treasures of youth 

a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash & i'm glad we got off 

   to tell you the truth 
 
chorus 
------ 
bridge 
------ 

Am      Am/B         Am/C           Am/B 
all the tiny little trinkets of temptation 
          Am              Am/B      G 
something new instead of something old 
Am       Am/B        Am/C                Am/B            Am/C Am/B Am 
all you gotta do is scratch beneathe the surface and its foo-oools gold 
Am/C Am/B  Am 
foo-oools gold 
 
 
now we're talking bout a difficult thing and your eyes are getting wet 
but i took us for better and i took us for worse dont you ever forget 
the stell bars between me and a promise suddenly bend with ease 
the closer i'm bound in love to you the closer i am to free
