Intro:  
One word, one heart, one night, is all I want 
    Am                   F        E                 Am 
One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me 
  
  
Midnight, and all is well 
  
I hear the mission bell 
Dm 
Out on the road, nothing is moving 
E                                   Am     
As I speed from town to town, (hey, hey) 
  
  
  
Two hearts are beating fast 
  
But they are still many miles apart 
        F 
Oh, the moon was shining on a distant shore 
Dm                        E 
Burning like a fire in my heart 
            F                    E 
I've got to see her, I've got to say... 
  
  

    Am                   F         E 
One word, one heart, one night, is all I want 
    Am                   F        E                 C 
One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me 
               C7       F 
I never knew I cared so much before 
                       C                      F 
I've got to tell her tonight (straight to the heart) 
                        C                      F 
I'm going to tell her tonight (straight to the heart) 
                       C                      F 
I've got to tell her tonight (straight to the heart) 
       G     Am  F  Am 
Like a cannonball 
  
  
  
Headlights are blazing through 
  
Turn on the radio, I hear the news 
Dm 
Hand on the wheel, foot on the floor 
    E       E7      E               Am 
And on, and on, and on we go, (hey, hey) 
  
This car is like a friend 
  
Bring her the message that I want to send 
        F 
Oh, the dawn was breaking and I saw the sun 
Dm                         E 
Burning like a fire on the bay 
           F                    E 
I'm nearly there now, I'm gonna say, hey, hey...

One word, one heart, one night, is all I want

One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me 
                        F 
I never knew I cared so much before 
                       C                      F
