[Intro 1]
[G][A][G][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Sittin' up on [A]the[D] roof
[G]Sneakin' a smo[A]ke by the chimney
[G]Checkin' out the[A] moon
And the city [D]lights
[G]He takes off his [A]flannel shirt and he
[G]Drapes it [A]around her shoulders
[G]He slides [A]up behind her and holds [D]on tight
And [Bm]she says
"I don't [A]want this night to [G]en d
Why does it have to end?"

[Verse 2]
To[A]morrow she'll be [G]rollin' down I-10
Bat[D]on Rouge, LSU
[A]Eighteen years in her rear-view
[G]He's [A]He's got a Friday [G]paycheck lined up,
down [D]the block
At daddy's shop
[A]It ain't much, but it's a [Bm]job
They've been dreadin' this mo
[Asus4]ment all summ[A]er long[E][Bm]
[G]The night before
Life goes on
[A][G][A][G][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Ooo[G], a tear falls off[Asus4] her cheek and
[G]Right when it hit[A]s his arm he [G]says
"Come [Asus4]on, baby,
[A]let's get out of [D]here."
[G]They take one last [Asus4]drive around tow[A]n
[G]And, man, [Asus4]it already looks [A]different
[G]He bangs the whe[Asus4]el and says[A]
[D]"Life ain't fair
[Bm]And this growin' up[A]
stuff [D]man I don't [G]know
I just don't wanna let you go."

[Verse 4]
To[A]morrow she'll be [G]rollin' down I-10
Bat[D]on Rouge, LSU
[A]Eighteen years in her rear-view
[G]He's [A]He's got a [G]Friday paycheck lined up,
down [D]the block
At daddy's shop
[A]It ain't much, but it's a [Bm]job
They've been dreadin' this mo
[D]ment [A]all summer [E]long[Bm]
[G]The night before
Life goes [D]on

[Verse 5]
Yeah, that's what [A]my mama told me
And [C]just like those kids
I [G]didn't wanna listen to [D]no one
Yeah, there's noth[A]in' you can do
There's noth[C]in' you can say
And I [G]know how it feels
when love goes away

[Verse 6]
To[A]morrow she'll be [G]rollin' down I-10
[A]Baton [D]Rou[A]ge, LSU
Eighteen years in her rear-view
[G]He's [A]He's got a [G]Friday paycheck lined up,
