Verse 1
AE
Going out tonight, changes into something red
F#mD
Her mother doesn’t like that kind of dress
AE
Everything she never had she’s showing off
F#mD
Driving too fast, moon is breaking through her hair
Chorus
AE
We’re only getting older, baby
F#mD
And I’ve been thinking about it lately
AE
Does it ever drive you crazy
F#mD
Just how fast the night changes
Verse 2
AE
Chasing it tonight, doubts are running ’round her head
F#mD
He’s waiting, hides behind a cigarette
AEF#m
Heart is beating loud and she doesn’t want it to stop
D
Moving too fast, moon is lighting up her skin
