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

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

End on G
