now the parking lot is empty everyone's gone someplace
C9/B C9 Fm7 C9 C6 Dm7 G
I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed a cooler & a 2-day suitcase
C9/B C9 Fm7 C9 C9/B Dm7
cause there's a place we like to drive, way out in the country
C9/B C9 Fm7 C9 C6 Dm7 G
five miles out of the city limit we're singing and your hands upon my knee
C C11 Fm7 G
so we're ok, we're fine, baby I'm here to stop the crying
C C11
chase all the ghosts from your head
Fm7 G
stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Am7 F
smarter than the tricks played on your heart
C C9/B Am7
we'll look at them together then we'll take em apart
Dm7 Em7 F
adding up the total of a love that's true
G
multiply life by the power of two.

you know the things that I am afraid of, I'm not afraid to tell
C9/B C9 Fm7 C9 C6 Dm7 G
and if we ever leave a legacy its that we loved each other well

I've seen the shadows of so many people still trying on the treasures of youth
C9/B C9 Fm7 C9 C6
a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash and I'm glad we got off
Dm7 G
to tell you the truth
(Chorus)
Dm7 Em7 F
all the tiny little trinkets of temptation
G C
something new instead of something old
Dm7 Em7 F
all you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface and its
Em7 Dm7
foo-oools gold
F Em7 Dm7
foo-oools gold
F Em7 Dm7
foo-oools gold
C9/B C9 Fm7 C9 C9/B Dm7
now we're talking bout a difficult thing and your eyes are getting wet
C9/B C9 Fm7 C9 C6 Dm7 G
but I took us for better and I took us for worse don't you ever forget
C9/B C9 Fm7 C9 C9/B Dm7
the steel bars between me and a promise suddenly bend with ease
C9/B C9 Fm7 C9 C6 Dm7 G
the closer I'm bound in love to you the closer I am to free
(Chorus)
