[Verso 1]
 
           A                        D         A 
I took you home from a party and we kissed in mirth 
E                            A 
  A few stolen kisses and no harm was done 
  D                                  A 
Instead of stopping when we could we went right on 
                                D           A 
Till suddenly we found that the brakes were gone.

Oh, you belong to someone else, and I do too 
E                          A 
  It's just as crazy bein' here with  you 
       D                       A 
Like a bad motorcycle with the devil in the seat 
                                  D        A 
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street

  A                                   D       A 
I did not want to want you, but now I have no choice 
E                             A 
  Too late to listen to that whining voice 
D                          A 
All I hear is thunder when two hearts beat 
                                  D        A 
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street 
                                  D        A 
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street

Oh you're not free to belong to me 
                           A 
And you know I could never be your own 
     D 
Your lips on mine, oh the sweet, sweet wine 
            E 
What are we going to do 



[Verso 4]

        A                                D      A 
Warning signs are flashing by us, but we pay no heed 
E                                      A 
'Stead of slowing down the pace, we're pickin' up speed 
  D                             A 
Disaster's getting closer ev'ry time we meet

Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
