[Verse 1]
ERight about now her Bheart should be pounding
her Ehands are trembling, her Asus2head getting light
she's Eturning the sound down, aBfraid it'll drown out
an Asus2engine in the night
[Verse 2]
EI'm still enthralled by the Blast time I saw her
the Etraffic was crawling, the Asus2highway was white
I Ecancelled my plans and aBbandoned the van
and was Asus2stranded in town for the night - all night
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
EWe toasted southern Bwinters in the snow
and we, Epounded warm DramAsus2bouie in the cold
and we, Eheld our own 'til it was Balmost dawn
and came Asus2to in each others clothes
[Bridge 1]
 EI was leaving, Bshe was breathing
 Eon the window as I Afishtailed away
Ethrough the tears and the Brear view mirror
I could Asee her disappear in the fogged over pane
[CHORUS]
C#mPlease... BAngeline de-Aliver me
C#mI'm bearing down on the Boutskirts of town
with the Areins in my teeth
  F#mthe clean... Bsmell of the wild onions C#msweetens the heat
  B    AI'm drunk on the wBind in my mouth
and wringing the wheel for a Alittle more speed
[Verse 4]
EThe wind is rising aBlong the horizon
the Eblue sheets of lightening are Againing on me
 EI'll be home as the Bfirst of the overgrown
Araindrops impact the street
[Bridge 2]
EIn the highbeams, Bblooms and pine needles
Efall in squalls like a Ablizzard of dreams
she's Ewatching the highway for Bheadlights
and wringing her Ahighball, for a little more speed
[Final_CHORUS]
C#mPlease... BAngeline de-Aliver me
C#mI'm bearing down on the Boutskirts of town
with the Areins in my teeth
  F#mthe clean... Bsmell of the wild onions C#msweetens the heat

and wringing the wheel for a Alittle more speed
    AI'm drunk on the Bwind in my mouth
