1.      Well, I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday,

      C                                                    G                         D

    parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight.

               D                                                             G

    And I never had a girl looking any better than you did,

                      F#                                    G                           A          D

    and all the kids at school they were wishing they were me that night.

 

                          Bb              F           C           D

    And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight,

                 Bb         F                   C       D

    it never felt so good, it never felt so right !

                        G                       D                A                D

    And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife,

       G                       D                A                D

    glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.

          G                   D                  G                   F        - A

    C'mon ! Hold on tight ! Oh, c'mon ! Hold on tight !

 

                        G           A                    D             G

    Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night,

               D         Bm               G      A      D

    I can see paradise by the dashboard light.

 

     G            A          D                                 G

    Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed,

                              Em                                                          D

    ‘cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed.

     G            A          D        G                A             D

    Ain't no doubt about it, baby, got to go and shout it,

     G           A          D                                   G

    ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed,

                              Em                                                          D

    ‘cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed.

 

      D                                                                                          G

2. Baby, don’t you hear my heart, you got it drowning out the radio,

                      C                                    G                                          D

    I've been waitin' so long for you to come along and have some fun.

               D                                                                       G

    And I gotta let you know, no, you're never gonna regret it,

                  F#                      G                                E

    so open up your eyes, I got a big surprise, it'll feel all right,

                 A                                    D

    well, I wanna make your motor run.

 

                          Bb              F           C           D

    And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight,

                 Bb         F                   C       D

    it never felt so good, it never felt so right !

                        G                       D                A                D

    And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife,

       G                       D                A                D

    glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.

          G                   D                  G                   F        - A

    C'mon ! Hold on tight ! Oh, c'mon ! Hold on tight !

 

                        G           A                    D            G

    Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night,

               G          D                F#             G

    I can see paradise by the dashboard light.

                Em          D                   Bm           A        - F#m - F#

    Oh, it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night,

G          D                A              D

    paradise by the dashboard light !

 

G                    A                  D                   G                  A         D

    You got to do what you can, and let mother nature do the rest,

     G            A         D                                  G

    ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed,

                              Em                                                        - A

    ‘cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely.
