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
