now the parking lot is empty everyones gone someplace 
D5        G5              C5          G5      F5                 A5     D5 
I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed a cooler & a 2-day suitcase 
D5            G5        C5      G5      G5      D5      A5 
cause theres a place we like to goto, way out in the country 
D5     G5          C5                 G5           F5             A5   D5 
5 miles out of the city limit we're singin & your hands upon my knee 
 
chorus

         G5          G5             C5               D5 
so we're ok, we're fine, baby i'm here to stop the crying 
               G5               G5 
chase all the ghosts from your head 
                   C5                     D5  
stronger than the monster beneathe your bed 
  B5                E5                    C5 
smarter than the tricks played on your heart 
                     G5                  D5   E5 
we'll look at them together then we'll take em apart 
               A5        A5       A5 
adding up the total of a love thats true 
         D5                     G5 
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 
------ 

A5      A5         A5           A5 
all the tiny little trinkets of temptation 
          A5              A5      G5 
something new instead of something old 
A5       A5        A5                A5            A5 A5 A5 
all you gotta do is scratch beneathe the surface and its foo-oools gold 
A5 A5  A5 
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
