[Verse 1]
GGoing out tonight, changes into something red
Em7Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
BmEverything she never had
She’s showing offD  
GDriving too fast, moon is breaking through her hair
Em7She's heading for something that she won’t forget
BmHaving no regrets is all that she really wantsD  
[Chorus]
CWe're only getting Dolder baby
CAnd I've been thinking aDbout it lately
CDoes it ever Ddrive you crazy
GJust how D/F#fast the nigEmht changes
CEverything that you've Dever dreamed of
CDisappearing Dwhen you wake up
CBut there’s nothing to Dbe afraid of
GEven D/F#when the nigEmht changes
CIt will never Dchange me and Gyou
[Verse 2]
GChasing her tonight, doubts are running ‘round her head
Em7He’s waiting, hides behind his cigarette
BmHeart is beating loud, she doesn't want it to stopD  
GMoving too fast, moon is lighting up her skin
Em7She’s falling, doesn't even know it yet
BmHaving no regrets is all that she really wDants
[Chorus]
