[Verse]
G7 D7 D                                   
■  ■  ■ Well I remember every little thing
                       G        
As if it happened only yesterday
C                  
Parking by the lake
          G                      D    
And there was not another car in sight
      D               
And I never had a girl
                        G      
Looking any better than you did
            F#7           
And all the kids at school
          G                         D    
They were wishing they were me that night
        A#  F             C            D    
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
                 F             C       D    
It never felt so good it never felt so right
          G            D                               
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
G       D                                    
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
G             D    
C'mon Hold on tight
G             F     A
C'mon Hold on tight ■


[Chorus]
            G    A   D         A        G         
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
      D   Bm              G         D    
I can see paradise by the dashboard light


[Verse]
G        A     D       
Ain't no doubt about it
               G      
We were doubly blessed
          Em                   
'cause we were barely seventeen
            G      D      
And we were barely dressed
         A     D       
Ain't no doubt about it
G        A         D       
Baby got to go and shout it
G        A     D       
Ain't no doubt about it
        A      G      
We were doubly blessed
                      Esus4    
'cause we were barely seventeen
            D             
And we were barely dressed
                       D    
Baby don't you hear my heart
                        G        
You got it drowning out the radio
          C              
I've been waiting so long
        G                           D  
For you to come along and have some fun
       D                 
Well I gotta let you know
                      G        
No you're never gonna regret it
   F#7     F#m  F#7          G           
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
E                   
It'll feel all right
     A                       D  
Well I wanna make your motor run
D7         F                    C         D    
■  And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
D7               F             C       D    
It never felt so good it never felt so right
          D                                            
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
                              D              
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
G             D    
C'mon Hold on tight
           G       F     A
Well c'mon Hold on tight ■


[Chorus]
            G        A7     A      D         G    
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
      D                   F#m       G    
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
                     D         Bm            A     F#m F#7 G

[Bridge]
                   A   D  
You got to do what you can
    G                    A   D   
And let Mother Nature do the rest
G          A     D       
■ Ain't no doubt about it
        G             
We were doubly blessed

'cause we were barely seventeen
            Em7   
And we were barely

A                                                                                    
We're gonna go all the way tonight we're gonna go all the way and tonight's the night
A7                                                                G7        A7

A E7 Em7 E
■ ■  ■   ■
   Bm                E Bm                         E7  
Ok here we go we got a real pressure cooker going here
E        E7                                    
Two down nobody on no score bottom of the ninth
            E                             E7                
There's the windup and there it is a line shot up the middle
               D            E         
Look at him go This boy can really fly
     E                                          
He's rounding first and really turning it on now
                                              E7    
He's not letting up at all he's gonna try for second
    A                            
The ball is bobbled out in center
                         E               
And here comes the throw and what a throw
           Em7                         A     E7      
He's gonna slide in head first here he comes he's out
   E7                           
No wait safe safe at second base
                E                       E7   
This kid really makes things happen out there
                       E7   
Batter steps up to the plate
Bm7                  E7                                 
Here's the pitch and he's going and what a jump he's got
                                       E                             
He's trying for third here's the throw it's in the dirt safe at third
E7                                                          
Holy cow stolen base He's taking a pretty big lead out there
                         Em              
Almost daring him to try and pick him off
            Em7     Em                           
The pitcher glances over winds up and it's bunted
                      Em                                 
Bunted down the third base line the suicide squeeze is on
              Em                              
Here he comes squeeze play it's gonna be close
                 E                           
Here's the throw here's the play at the plate
E                                  
Holy cow I think he's gonna make it
A          G

[Verse]
                                         C     
I couldn't take it any longer Lord I was crazed
                          F                        
And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
C                      G                           
Started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
             F               G      C   
That I would love you to the end of time
                F               G      C    G
I swore I would love you to the end of time ■


[Chorus]
C                          G      C   
So now I'm praying for the end of time
F        G      C     
To hurry up and arrive
                  A                            
'cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
        G                              
I don't think that I can really survive
           F                                
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
C                             G           
But God only knows what I can do right now
C                              
I'm praying for the end of time
         A            
It's all that I can do
C               G          
Praying for the end of time
C                            
So I can end my time with you
                     F                  
Well it was long ago and it was far away
       F                                  
And it was so much better that it is today

And it was so much better that it is today
            F                      
It was long ago and it was far away
       C                                  
And it was so much better that it is today
