Key:  C
C
                                                                                          
G
 
"Just take off your clothes and I'll drive you home,"   I said
F
                                                                
C
 
Knowing she never could pass on a dare.
F
                                                                                  
C
 
And knowing it sounded more desperate than reckless or bold
                            
G
                                                            
F
 
I just put it out there cold, too far gone to care.
C
                                                                        
G
 
My eyes on the road, she slid herself down in the seat
F
                                                                    
C
 
And a vision of paradise swung into view.
F
                                                                                          
C
 
Across those five lanes not one driver glanced over to see
                                  
G
                                                      
F
 
The beauty known only to me, and a big rig or two.
                
C
    
G
            
F
 
On that freeway the light was receding
        
C
    
G
        
F
 
Her beauty, a sight so misleading
    
C
                
G
              
F
                                            
G
 
I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
                                    
C
        
F
  
Am
  
G
 
On the naked ride home.
C
                                                                                  
G
 
With the trace of a smile and that defiant look in her eye
F
                                                                                    
C
 
She hurtled through space in a world of her own.
F
                                                                      
C
 
And turning aside my caress spoke of all that she'd not yet done
                                
G
                                                                  
F
 
As if I was the doubting one, who would have to be shown.
(c:Chorus)
C
                                                                                      
G
 
She gathered her clothes and ran through the yard in the dark
F
                                                                          
C
 
Up onto the porch like a flash, then inside.
F
                                                                            
C
 
Then one room at a time I watched every light in our house come on
                                                      
G
                                                            
F
 
Like the truth that would eventually dawn, forcing me to decide.
(c:Chorus)
C
  
F
  
Am
