G G/F#
There is no one else around
Em7 Cadd9
The road is quiet the only sound
G/B G/F# Cadd9 (2)
Is wind that sounds like cars that sound like breathing
G G/F#
The desert air is hot and dry
Em7 Cadd9
Two lanes weaving earth and sky
G/B G/F# Cadd9 (2)
The stars are all that's keeping time till morning
G G/F#
And I turn and look beside me
Em7 Cadd9
And you're sleeping like a baby
G/B G/F# Cadd9 (2)
And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying
G G/F#
And the way you look tonight
Em7 Cadd9
Fast asleep in the dashboard light
G/B G/F# Cadd9 (4)
Well I can't speak and that's how I feel
Chorus:
G (2) Bm (2) C (2) D (2)
Open your eyes and look at me look at me
G (2) Bm (2) C (2) D (2)
Open your eyes and look at me
Em C G D
‘Cause I have and hold this love for
Em C G D Em (2)
you Before this ten year night is through
D (2)
I'm telling you
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G/B G/F# Cadd9 (4)
Take it from me Take it from me
G G/F#
We're ten years older I know we are
Em7 Cadd9
Than the night we met in that downtown bar
G/B G/F# Cadd9 (2)
You thought I was some kind of star--That's what you said
G G/F#
I felt your skin I felt the heat
Em7 Cadd9
As you pulled me out into the street
G/B G/F# Cadd9 (2)
And you kissed me there ‘til I was weak cause I asked you to
G G/F#
And later on on your kitchen floor
Em7 Cadd9
Two flights above the grocery store
G/B G/F# Cadd9 (4)
I felt things I never felt before and I still do
Chorus
C (2) G/B (2)
Going eighty on the highway
Em (2) D (2)
We're rushing somewhere
C (2) G/B (2)
But the way I feel tonight
Em (2) D (2) Em (½)
It's like I'm already there
Final Chorus:
G (2) Bm (2) C (2) D (2)
Open your eyes and look at me look at me
G (2) Bm (2) C (2) D (2)
Open your eyes and look at me
Em C G D
‘Cause I have and hold this love for
Em C G D Em (2)
you Before this ten year night is through
D (4)
I'm telling you I'm telling you
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G/B G/F# Cadd9 (2)
Take it from me Take it from me
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G/B G/F# Cadd9 (hold 2)
Take it from me Take it from me
End on G
