A A/G#
There is no one else around
F#m D
The road is quiet the only sound
A A/G# D
Is wind that sounds like cars that sound like breathing
A A/G#
The desert air is hot and dry
F#m D
Two lanes weaving earth and sky
A A/G# D
The stars are all that's keeping time till morning
A A/G#
And I turn aand look beside me
F#m D
And you're sleeping like a baby
A A/G# D
And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying
A A/G#
And the way you look tonight
F#m D
Fast asleep in the dashboard light
A A/G# D
Well I can't speak and that's how I feel
A C#m D E
Open your eyes and look at me look at me
A C#m D E
Open your eyes and look at me
F#m D A E F#m
Cause I have and hold this love for you
D A E F#m
Before this ten year night is through
E
I'm telling you
A A/G# F#m
Take it from me
D A A/G# D
Take it from me
A A/G#
We're ten years older I know we are
F#m D
Than the night we met in that downtown bar
A A/G#
You thought I was some kind of star
D
That's what you said
A A/G#
I felt your skin I felt the heat
F#m D
As you pulled me out into the street
A A/G# D
And you kissed me there till I was weak cause I asked you to
A A/G#
And later on on your kitchen floor
F#m D
Two flight above the grocery store
A A/G# D
I felt things I never felt before and I still do
A C#m D E
Open your eyes and look at me look at me
A C#m D E
Open your eyes and look at me
F#m D A E F#m
Cause I have and hold this love for you
D A E F#m
Before this ten year night is through
E
I'm telling you
A A/G# F#m
Take it from me
D A A/G# D
Take it from me
D A
Going eighty on the highway
F#m E
We're rushing somewhere
D A
But the way I feel tonight
F#m E F#m
It's like I'm already there
A C#m D E
Open your eyes and look at me look at me
A C#m D E
Open your eyes and look at me
F#m D A E F#m
Cause I have and hold this love for you
D A E F#m
Before this ten year night is through
E
I'm telling you I'm telling you
A A/G# F#m
Take it from me
D A A/G# D
Take it from me
D A
Take it from me
