 She came to my house around quarter to 8 
           Bb            C               
 She said, “let’s go out and stay out real late.” 
         F               C 
 I said, “Where to go?”

 Take the long way back and ride that country side.

 This is our last day. We don’t know what to say.

 But we know we don’t want it to end.

 This is our last trip. I’m getting off this ship.

 So where do you wanna go?

 Bb         C                      F  
 Let’s just take it and breathe it in.

 memories when mal and me walked down that road alone.

         Dm                          Bb 
 We went riding in my car. We didn’t go too far 
        F                           C 
 I look over and the tears soak her eyes. 
               Dm                            Bb 
 I pull to the side of the road and pull her close to me. 
             C                    F 
 My eyes get heavy and I start to cry.

 I yelled, “Why? Oh why?

 Why us and why now?

 We just got on this boat let us float for a little while.”

 I took her to her house. (C) Stopped the car.

 The lights come on. Red bags surround her eyes. She can’t look at me 
 F                
 I hold her hand. (C) Turn her head. 
 Bb                    C                       
 Tears stream down her face as I taste her lips (F) for the last time.
