1. We were out on a date in my dad-dy's car

We hadn't dri-ven ve-ry far

There in the road, it was straight ahead

I could-n't stop, so I swerved to the right

The pain-ful scream that I heard last | N.C &4& |

F G
There were peo-ple stand-ing all a-round
C Am
Some-thing warm a-run-nin' in my eyes
F G
But I found my ba-by some-how that night
C Am
I raised her head, and when she smiled and said
F G
"Hold me dar-ling just a lit-tle while"
C Am
I held her close, I kis-sed her our last kiss
F G
I found the love that I knew that I'd miss
C Am
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
F G C G
I lost my love, my life, that night | N.C &4& |
