More chords by Jackson Browne


C G

"Just take off your clothes and I'll drive you home," I said

F C

Knowing she never could pass on a dare.

F C

And knowing it sounded more desperate than reckless or bold

G F

I just put it out there cold, too far gone to care.

C G

My eyes on the road, she slid herself down in the seat

F C

And a vision of paradise swung into view.

F C

Across those five lanes not one driver glanced over to see

G F

The beauty known only to me, and a big rig or two.

C G F

On that freeway the light was receding

C G F

Her beauty, a sight so misleading

C G F G

I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone

C FAmG

On the naked ride home.

C G

With the trace of a smile and that defiant look in her eye

F C

She hurtled through space in a world of her own.

F C

And turning aside my caress spoke of all that she'd not yet done

G F

As if I was the doubting one, who would have to be shown.

C G

She gathered her clothes and ran through the yard in the dark

F C

Up onto the porch like a flash, then inside.

F C

Then one room at a time I watched every light in our house come on

G F

Like the truth that would eventually dawn, forcing me to decide.
