[G] [D]
I remember every little thing as if it happened [G] only yesterday
[C] Walking [G] by the lake and there was not [D] another car in sight
And I never had a girl looking [G] any better than you did
And [F#] all the kids at [Em] school, they [D] were wishing they were me that night
[C] And now I've [F] got my [C] soul so [D] tucked and tied
[F] And now I've got soul good [D] and now I've got soul right
[G] And [D] we're glowing [A] like the metal [D] on the edge of the night
[G] Come on, [D] hold on tight
[G] [F]
So [A] it's [G]
glowing [A] lovely [D] in the [A] deep [G] dark
I [D] can see [Bm] paradise [G] by the [Em] dance [D] floor lights
[G] [D] How did [G] you be doubly blessed
Cause [Em] we were barely [G] seventeen and we were [D] barely dressed
[A] Ain't no doubt, [D] [A] baby, [D]
[A] ain't [D] no doubt
[G]
[Em] Cause we were barely seventeen and we were [D] barely dressed
Baby don't you hear my heart, you [G] got it drowning out the radio
[C] I've been waiting [G] so long for you to come along [D] and have some fun
Well I gotta let you know, no you're never [G] gonna regret it
[F#] So open up your eyes, [G] I got a big [E] surprise, it'll feel [A] alright
Well I wanna [D] make you more than wrong
And [A#]
[F] now I've got my [C] soul so [D] tucked and tied
And [A#] now I've got [F] soul [D] good and now I've got soul right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of the night
[G] Well [D]
[G] come on, [F] hold on tight
So [A]
[G] it's glowing [A] lovely in [D] the deep [G] dark
I can see [D] paradise [F#m] by the dance [G] floor lights
So it's [D] glowing lovely [Bm] in the [A] deep dark
[F#m] Deep [F#]
[G] dark, [D]
[A] [D] dance floor lights
[G] [A] You got to [D] do what you can
And it's [A] glowing, [D] [G] there ain't [D] no doubt
That [G] we were doubly blessed
[Em] Cause we were barely seventeen and we were [Am] barely
We're gonna go all the way [A]
tonight
[E] [G]
[A] [E] [C#m] [Em] [D] [E] We're [C#m] gonna [G] [E] [Em]
[D] [E] [D] [C#m] [G] [Bm] [E]
[C#] [D] [E]
[C#m] [Em] [E] go [C#m] all the way tonight
[Em] Pattern sets up to the plate, here's the face and he's going and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third
Here's the throw, it's in the dirt, safe that third, holy cow, it's going to be amazing
Taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him [D] to try and pick him off
[Em] Picture glances over, wide jump, and it's running, running down the third baseline, a suicide squeeze this time
Here he comes, squeeze play, [E] it's gonna be close
Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna [A] make it
Sky brighter, [G]
[A] I gotta know right
Before we go any further, [G] do ya love me, will ya love [Am] me forever, [D] do ya need me, will ya never leave [C] me
Will you make me so happy for the [G] rest of my life
[A] Will ya take me away, will ya make me a [G]-wed, do ya love me?
[D] Do ya need me, will ya never leave [C] me, will ya make me so [G] happy for the rest of my life
[A] Will you take me away?
[G]
[A] Before we go into another [G] day
[D] Will you love me forever?
[A] [G] Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby, [D] let me sleep on it
Let [C] me sleep on it
[G] I'll give you an answer [D] in the morning
Let [G] me sleep on it
Baby, baby, [D] let me sleep on it
[C] Let me sleep on it
[G] I'll give you an answer [D] in the morning
[G] Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby, [A] let me sleep on it
[C] Let me sleep on it
[D] I'll give [C] you an answer in the [Am] [G] morning
[Em] [D] You
[G] [D]
[C] make me so happy [G] for the ride
[A] Will you take me away?
[G] [A] Before we go any further
[G] Will you love me [D] [A] forever?
What's it gonna be, boy?
Come on!
I can wait all night
What's it gonna be, boy?
Yes or no?
What's it gonna be, boy?
Yes or no?
[G] Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby, [D] let me sleep on it
[C] Let me sleep on it
[G] I'll give you an answer [D] in the morning
I gotta know right now
[G] Will you love me?
Will you love me forever?

[D] Will you love me forever?
[D#] Let me sleep on it
Will you love me forever?
[E] Let me sleep on it
Will you love me [F] forever?
I couldn't take it any longer
I was [C] crazy when the feeling came [F] up on me like a tidal [C] wave
Started swearing to [G] my God and oh my mother
[F] Prayed that I would [G] love you till the [C] end of time
I [F] swore I would [G] love you till the [C] end of time
[G] So [C] now I'm praying for the end of time
[G] To hurry [C] up and arrive
Cause if I [Am] gotta spend another minute with you
I [G] don't think that I can really survive
[F] I'll never break my promise, I'll forget my [C] vow
I gotta [G] know right [C] now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all [Am] that I can do
[C] Prayin' for the end of time
So [F] I can end [G] my time [F] with [C] you
[F]
[C] Let me [F] [C] sleep on it
Let me sleep [F] on it
So [C] long ago this [F] power
[C] Had no end in sight
[F]
[C] Now I know it ain't [F] over
[C] Let [F] me sleep on [C] it
I know it ain't over
I [F] ain't never [C] known a lie
No one left a memory
No one left a day
In the dark
I [F] ain't never [C] seen a night
No [F] one left a memory
[C] No one left a day
[F] [C] [F] [C]
