and death is all around me tonight,

beside myself I‘m holding you tight.

I cried, and I cried, and I cried my baby to sleep,

beside myself my soul to keep.

+ (spoken :) Driving into town with the top down,

sun sinking low into the water.

I can feel your speed, one hand on the wheel, one hand on my knee.

I can tell you what I want, you can do what you need, darling.

Nights are getting cooler in the city so close,

there‘s a place we can do it somewhere right along the coast.

We‘ll arrive on time just a little bit late,

it‘s not a matter of style, just a lesson in taste.

I remember when I was your child, you made me up to be your lover,

now I‘m standing right beside you, other people still exist,

I don‘t pretend to love them less, F

but, darling, when you drive this way, I lose my breath.

F C Am G

Right beside you, I see, right beside you,

F C Am G

I stay, right beside you, I‘ll be, right beside you.

F C Am G

I stand, right beside you, I see, right beside you, I

F C Am G

I stay, right beside you, I‘ll be, right beside you.

+ repeat CHORUS + Always !
