[Gm]We were playing twenty [C]one
In the [F]pitch black of a [Am]country [Dm]night
[Gm]I was struck like a drum [C]
And I [F]rolled my eyes [Am]trying to sit [Dm]tight


I was [Dm]dangerously [Gm]tangled second time I [C]met you
[F]Now I’m so [D]impatient [F#]to adore [Gm]you
I [C]crashed my car last [F]night


[Gm]We were drinking warm [C]wine
From [F]paper cups [Am]that we left [Dm]outside
[Gm]God I wished you were mine [C]
As your [F]skin lit up [Am]in the [Dm]sunrise


I was [Dm]dangerously [Gm]tangled second time I [C]met you
[F]Now I’m so [D]impatient [F#]to adore [Gm]you
I [C]crashed my car last [F]night


So [Dm]dangerously [Gm]tangled second time I [C]met you
[F]Now I’m so [D]impatient [F#]to adore [Gm]you
I [C]crashed my car last [F]night
