[Bm] [Am] [G] We met [C] on the highway, she [G] flagged me down.
Had a flat [C] on her stingray, with nobody [G]
around.
So I [Em] helped her out, [C] she said climb [G] in.
[C] So [G] I ditched [D] my old truck [C] just to see [D] where the party [G] would end.
We spent the weekend [C] in Reno, [Em] in a honeymoon [G] suite.
Never saw [C] the casino, [G] barely took time to eat.
I never [Em]
dreamed [C] she would take me [G] that far.
[C] But [G] by Sunday [D] that lady [C] had taken [D] a hold of [G] my heart.
[C] [G] It's a modern [C] day romance, a new [G] kind of game.
With no [D] time to slow dance, in the [G] fast lane.
I tried [C] to love her, without [G] any strength.
[C] [G] But a modern [D] day [C] romance has left me [D] some old [G] fashioned pain.
