Intro - D5 - G5 - D5 - E5 - D5 - G5 
 
 
(Verse 1) 
D5                                     G5 
We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi 
     D5 
My parents slept right through 
             G5 
They never missed me 
E5 
We were far from sleepin' 
          G5 
When the truth began to creep in 
    E5                             G5 -  A5 
That we weren't goin' home anytime soon 

(Verse 2) 
    D5                               G5 
The mornin' light sure took us by surprise 
    D5 
We grabbed our clothes 
                       G5 
Watched a beautiful sunrise 
E5 
We were one together 
                   G5 
And we must have talked forever 
       E5                       G5   A5 
And it was then and there I realized   that 
 
(Chorus) 
D5                          G5 
I don't want to wait even one more night 
      D5                            G5 
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right 
D5               G5 
Knees buckled, white knuckled 
      E5 
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) 
         G5            A5                  D5 
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life   
 
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah) 
G5 
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah) 
D5          E5 - D5 - G5 
(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) 
D5                          G5 
I don't want to wait even one more night 
      D5                            G5 
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right 
D5               G5 
Knees buckled, white knuckled 
      E5 
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) 
         G5            A5                   D5 
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life 
 
(Bridge) 
          C5 
Now, our oldest girl is almost grown 
       G5 
She's got a boyfriend of her own 
    E5                                  A5 A5 
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night 
        G5 
And if she's anything like me 
         D5 
She's desperate to be wild and free 
         G5                         A5 A5 
We know now it's just a matter of time 
 
'Til she says... 
 
(Chorus) 
D5                          G5 
I don't want to wait even one more night 
      D5                            E5   F#5    G5 - A5
