Intro - D - G - D - Em - D/F# - G 
 
 
(Verse 1) 
D                                     G 
We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi 
     D 
My parents slept right through 
             G 
They never missed me 
Em7 
We were far from sleepin' 
          G 
When the truth began to creep in 
    Em7                             G -  A 
That we weren't goin' home anytime soon 
 
 
 
 
(Verse 2) 
    D                               G 
The mornin' light sure took us by surprise 
    D 
We grabbed our clothes 
                       G 
Watched a beautiful sunrise 
Em7 
We were one together 
                   G 
And we must have talked forever 
       Em7                       G   A 
And it was then and there I realized   that 
 
 
 
(Chorus) 
D                          G 
I don't want to wait even one more night 
      D                            G 
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right 
D               G 
Knees buckled, white knuckled 
      Em7 
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) 
         G            A                  D 
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life   
 
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah) 
G 
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah) 
D          Em - D/F# - G 
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah yeah) 
 
 
 
 
(Verse 3) 
We worked our way through college waitin' tables 
Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable 
I asked if he was ready 
To become a Mom and Daddy 
And then I found my answer in his eyes 
And he said, 
 
 
 
(Chorus) 
D                          G 
I don't want to wait even one more night 
      D                            G 
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right 
D               G 
Knees buckled, white knuckled 
      Em7 
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) 
         G            A                   D 
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life 
 
 
 
 
(Bridge) 
          C 
Now, our oldest girl is almost grown 
       G 
She's got a boyfriend of her own 
    Em7                                  Asus4 A 
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night 
        G 
And if she's anything like me 
         D 
She's desperate to be wild and free 
         G                         Asus4 A 
We know now it's just a matter of time 
 
'Til she says... 
 
 
 
 
(Chorus) 
D                          G 
I don't want to wait even one more night 
      D                            E5   F#5    G5 - A5<---walk 
It's hard to slow it down when it feels  so  right 
D               G 
Knees buckled, white knuckled 
      Em 
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) 
         G            A                  D 
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life 
 
D                          G 
I don't want to wait even one more night 
      D                            G 
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right 
D               G 
Knees buckled, white knuckled 
      Em7 
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) 
         G            A                   D 
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life
