Lyrics

(Ab)Go ing out to night; chang es in to some thing red.

Her moth er does n’t like that kind of dress.

Ev ’ry thing she nev er had, does n’t want she’s show ing off.

(Ab)Driv ing too fast; moon is break ing through her hair.

She’s head ing for some thing that she won’t for get.

Hav ing no re grets is all that she real ly wants.

We’re on ly get ting old er, ba by, and I’ve been think ing a bout it late ly:

does it ev er drive you cra zy, (Ab)just how (Eb)fast the night chang es,

ev ’ry thing that you’ve (Eb)ev er dreamed of

dis ap pear ing (Eb)when you wake up?

But there’s noth ing to be a fraid of; (Ab)e ven (Eb)when the night chang es,

it will nev er change

me and you.

(Ab)Chas ing it to night; doubts are run nin’ ’round her head.

He’s wait ing; hides be hind a cig a rette.

Heart is beat in’ loud, and she does n’t want she’s it to stop.

(Ab)Mov ing too fast; moon is light ing up her skin.

She’s fall ing, for does n’t e ven know it yet.

Hav ing no re grets is all that she real ly wants.

We’re on ly get ting old er, ba by, and I’ve been think ing a bout it late ly:

does it ev er drive you cra zy, (Ab)just how (Eb)fast the night chang es,

ev ’ry thing that you’ve (Eb)ev er dreamed of

dis ap pear ing (Eb)when you wake up?

But there’s noth ing to be a fraid of; (Ab)e ven (Eb)when the night chang es,

it will nev er change

me and you.

(Bb)Go ing out to night; chang es in to some thing red.

Her moth er does n’t like that kind of dress; re (Dm)minds her of the miss ing piece of in no cence she lost.

We’re on ly get ting old er, ba by, and I’ve been think ing a bout it late ly:
