Intro>> G -- C -- G -- D

G               D           C                      G
First date, first kiss, I never will forget
        D                             C
The way you looked that night
G                    D              C                                G
Parked out, across town, watchin the stars fall down
                           D                     
Girl your hair was soft and brown and...


Chorus 1:

C      G                       C              D       
Just before we get too far, I hear you say
C               G                    C                 D            G       
It's getting late we need to go and its a long way back


(repeat intro>> G -- C -- G -- D )

G                 D                   C                           G
Made plans, got rings, and had us a million dreams
       D                           C
of where our road might lead
     G                   D                C                                   
 G
It wasn't long, we had a truck, with all of our things boxed up
                       D             
Left town in a cloud of dust and...

Chorus2:
C                  G            C        D
Got moving, improving, why I can't say
C               G                  C               D            G
But suddenly it seems to me such a long way back

G            D                C                          G
I've tried, you've tried, but nobody's satisfied
     D                      C
Is this where it all ends?
G                D                C                              G
We can't be so far down where we can't turn around 
                    D               
Pick up this love we found and...

Chorus3/ending:
C      G                       C              D    
Just before we get too far, I hear you say
C               G                    C                 D            
It's getting late we need to go and its a long way 
C      G                       C              D    
Just before we get too far, I hear you say
C               G                    C                 D            G  
It's getting late we need to go and its a long way back
