Key: G
Introduction: F
G C F C
Now the parking lot is empty
C G/B Dm G
Everyone's gone some place
C F C
I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed
F C Dm G
A cooler and a two day suitcase
C F C
'Cause there's a place we like to drive
C G/B Dm G
Way out in the country
C F C
Five miles out of the city limit we're singin'
C F Dm G
And your hand's upon my knees
Chorus
C G/C
(So/'Cause) we're ok, we're fine
F G
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
C G/C
Chase all the ghosts from your head
F G
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
E/G# Am F
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
C G/B Am
Look at them together then we'll take them apart
Dm Em F
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Gbreak C F C G Dmpause
Multiply life by the power of two
G C F C
I know the things that I am afraid of
C G/B Dm G
I'm not afraid to tell
C F C
And if we ever leave a legacy
F C Dm G
It's that we loved each other well
C F C
'Cause I've seen the shadows of so many people
C G/B Dm G
Trying on the treasures of youth
C F C
But a road fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash
C F Dm G
And I'm glad we got off to tell you the truth
(Repeat Chorus except last word)
Dm C F C
All the shiny little trinkets of temptation
F G C
Something new instead of something old
Dm C F C
But all you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
F C Dm F C Dm
And it's fool's gold, a fool's gold
F C Dmpause
Fools gold
G C F C
Now we're talking about a difficult thing
G/B Dm G
And your eyes are getting wet
C F C
I took us for better and I took us for worse
F C Dm G
And don't you ever forget it
C F C
Now there's steel bars between me and a promise
G/B Dm G
Suddenly bend with ease
C F C
And the closer I'm bound in love to you
C F Dm G
The closer I am to free
(Repeat Chorus except last word)
